Full question: I am a German citizen, married to an American in Germany and also divorced from him in Germany after 20 years of marriage. Am I entitled to spousal Social Security benefits?

Hi there,

If you are a citizen or, in most cases, a legal resident of a country with which the United States has an international Social Security agreement, you need to meet only the standard requirements to collect ex-spousal benefits.

See more information here. And for personalized support, you can work with an RSSA here.

Take care,
Martha
