Your benefits won't change if your ex's spouse also receives them.
Q. My husband was married before. When I get some of his Social Security, do I have to share it with her?Your spousal benefits and anythat your husband’s former wife may be entitled to based on his earnings record are two separate pots of money and are completely independent of each other, said Gene McGovern, a certified financial planner with McGovern Financial Advisors in Westfield.
McGovern said eligibility for current spouses generally begins at age 62. However, you can collect spousal benefits at any age so long as you’re caring for a child of the worker who’s under age 16 or disabled and the child is receiving Social Security benefits on the worker’s record. No spousal benefits are payable, though, unless and until the other spouse has filed for his or her own retirement or disability benefits, he said.is equal to 50% of the other spouse’s full retirement age benefit, which is known as their primary insurance amount ,” he said. “If your own PIA is less than your spousal benefit, Social Security will pay you the difference, adding it to your retirement benefit.
He offered this example: If your primary insurance amount at your full retirement age is $800, and your spouse’s PIA is $2,000, you’re eligible for a spousal benefit of up to half of that, or $1,000. Social Security would continue to pay your retirement benefit of $800 and add a spousal benefit of $200, bringing your total to $1,000. Both these benefits are reduced if you file early, he said.
