Hello, I have never worked, however I am entitled to SS Benefits on my Ex's work record of over 40 credits. We have been divorced for over 2 yrs from a 35+ yr marriage and I have not remarried. To mention; Social Security Administration has told me I do not qualify for any benefits at retirement age (66yrs) because I do not have any credits myself. This is not so from everything I know but it shows you the frustration of getting nowhere with my following question.
I have not worked throughout our lengthy marriage, my health preventing such. Now divorced and without income and disabilities (and age and no experience) so unable to work, I am trying to get SS disability on his work record. We are both age 60 and he is still working with no desire to retire any time soon. SS Administration "thinks" I have to wait until age 65 before applying for disability but "maybe" age 62. And at that, they "doubt" if I can collect disability on his record.
Please, does anyone know the answer? Obviously the SS Administration doesn't.
Can I receive SS Disability at age 60 using my 60 yr old (still working) EX spouse's credits of full benefit eligibility.
Thank you kindly for your attention and response.
