I'm the 2nd wife of a man who has a disabled son from his previous marriage, and the son has been receiving SSI for many years. My husband is 72 and I'm 65. I have been collecting my own SS benefits for 3 years and recently inquired about Spousal Benefits. Found out I've had approved Spousal Benefits all along, but with no extra money other than from my own record, because of his disabled child who lives with his mother. Is there anything I can do where I can receive more money from Spousal Benefits or another Benefits program, on top of my own earnings? And/or, could I at least get help with Medicare monthly payments because of this situation?
