I am divorced. We were married for less than 10 years. Am I eligible for ex-spousal benefits?
Published: September 12, 2024Full question: Hi Martha, I’m upset because I think I know the answer but just wanted to double check. My ex-husband and I were married on 4-29-1989 and we were divorced I believe with a date of 2-3-1999. So, just 2 months shy of 10 years. I don’t believe I’m eligible but wanted to double check. Thank you!!!
Hi there,
Yes, I am afraid that you are correct on that. The law specifies ten or more years.
