The other one says that the SSDI would be ended but it will be turned over to retirement benefits giving me the exact same amount as I was getting from Disability plus I would still get half of ex-husband's benefits.

Which one is correct? Does anyone know what happens?

Thanks JoyinCT
There is a formula they run and you might receive a slight increase, but your benefits will not decrease. If half of your husband's benefits is more, then you can collect on his instead, but you can't receive both. If he passes before you, then at that point you can receive his whole benefit if it is more than yours.
