Like the link above states, it is the death of the spouse that possibly allows entitlement on a former spouse's record for disability. Divorce does not. A spouse or a divorced spouse can get retirement benefits at age 62. It is incorrect that divorcing a spouse allows a person to claim disability benefits on the divorced spouse's record. Age is what qualifies, not disability, as long as the divorced spouse is alive. Now, if the divorced spouse dies, there is the possibility of surviving disabled divorced spouse benefits. But you can't kill the ex-spouse to qualify. |

"How does a divorced spouse qualify for benefits? A person can receive benefits as a divorced spouse on a former spouse’s Social Security record if he or she: •Was married to the former spouse for at least 10 years; •Is at least age 62 years old; •Is unmarried; and •Is not entitled to a higher Social Security benefit on his or her own record." |

Thank you for finding the sites to help people find information on their cases. The suggestions to do research and find out about things is invalueable. My lawyer that I had to hire, found the statues you mentioned. Nobody has to take anothers advise, but having the information, or at least a direction to go in, is needed by many people. That relief to at least find out about the laws, aids in not being so afraid, or feeling useless against agencies that just think of you as a number or case. We should welcome all information we receive, and then select what is appropriate for our own individual cases. This is about choice, and information. These are good things. ginnie
