Hi. The only reason I'm putting this question here is because it's so complicated when you go on the SS website and I figured SOMEONE here can answer this.

My friend is 56. Her ex husband is on SS Disability. I know she can't collect anything now because no one is 62 yet. I know she is entitled to half her ex spouse SS benefits when she reaches retirement age and he turns 66. That much I discovered. (At least I think this what I read).

But she wants to know if, when she turns 62, and he is NOT yet 66, can she file for any part of his disability?

Not a dumb question. I couldn't find the answer anywhere. So is a spouse or ex spouse entitled to part of anyone's disability benefit? And does it matter if these people are home-owners??.

Thanks to anyone who can give me some answers.

Much appreciated.

Mel
