Will I lose my ex husband's Social Security if I remarry?

If you have since remarried, you can't collect benefits on your former spouse's record unless your later marriage ended by annulment, divorce, or death. Also, if you're entitled to benefits on your own record, your benefit amount must be less than you would receive based on your ex-spouse's work.

Just like during tax season, it’s good to have all the information you need early so you can prepare and get any money you are due. If you are age 62, unmarried, and divorced from someone entitled to Social Security retirement or disability benefits, you may be eligible to receive benefits based on his or her record. To be eligible, you must have been married to your ex-spouse for 10 years or more. If you have since remarried, you can’t collect benefits on your former spouse’s record unless your later marriage ended by annulment, divorce, or death. Also, if you’re entitled to benefits on your own record, your benefit amount must be less than you would receive based on your ex-spouse’s work. In other words, we’ll pay the higher of the two benefits for which you’re eligible, but not both. You can apply for benefits on your former spouse’s record even if he or she hasn’t retired, as long as you divorced at least two years before applying. If, however, you decide to wait until full retirement age to apply as a divorced spouse, your benefit will be equal to half of your ex-spouse’s full retirement amount or disability benefit. The same rules apply for a deceased former spouse. The amount of benefits you get has no effect on the benefits of your ex-spouse and his or her current spouse. Visit Retirement Planner: If You Are Divorced to find all the eligibility requirements you must meet to apply as a divorced spouse. Our benefits planner gives you an idea of your monthly benefit amount. If your ex-spouse died after you divorced, you may still quality for widow’s benefits. You’ll find information about that in a note at the bottom of the website. Visit Retirement Planner: If You Are Divorced today to learn whether you’re eligible for benefits on your ex-spouse’s record. That could mean a considerable amount of monthly income. What you learn may bring a smile to your face … even on tax day!

What is oystering in a relationship?

Introducing “Oystering” - the idea of seeing the world as your oyster after a breakup. Coined by dating app Badoo, the term came to light after its research found that almost half of single people (46 per cent) who have recently gone through a breakup feel excited to start dating again.

A new year means a new set of dating trends is on the horizon. Usually, said trends are coined to alert dating app users to cruel habits online, such as ghosting and breadcrumbing - the act of sending out flirtatious signals to make someone think you’re interested in them without committing. This year, though, dating trends have had a positive re-brand, with the first one to emerge offering single people plenty of hope. Introducing “Oystering” - the idea of seeing the world as your oyster after a breakup. Coined by dating app Badoo, the term came to light after its research found that almost half of single people (46 per cent) who have recently gone through a breakup feel excited to start dating again. Badoo’s Global Dating Expert, Sophie Mann, commented: “Dating is daunting after a relationship, but it doesn’t need to be.

“Ultimately, dating should be fun, and what better way to get over a break up than having some fun?

“We’ve seen many people getting back into dating, and we predict this new trend of seizing the ‘dating’ day will shine through as many singletons are feeling confident to go out there and get what they want.”

The new trend comes after the pandemic completely transformed the dating landscape.

In 2020, research found that an increasing number of married couples were filing for divorce. Leading British law firm Stewarts logged a 122 per cent increase in enquiries between July and October, while Charity Citizen’s Advice reported a spike in searches for online advice on ending a relationship.
