@mygovexpert: Ever wondered if you could claim Social Security benefits based on an ex-spouse’s record? Many people get turned away by misinformation at the local office, but the truth is, you don’t need your ex to be collecting benefits for you to qualify. As long as the marriage lasted at least 10 years and your ex is 62+, you might be eligible for those independently entitled divorced spouse benefits. Don’t let a confused clerk stop you from getting what you’re rightfully owed! #SocialSecurity #RetirementTips #DivorceBenefits #FinancialPlanning #KnowYourRights
