I claimed on my social security at 62, when my husband retired at 66 I claimed 35% of his SS. We were married 38 years. He left and we divorced. Do I have to inform Social Security about our divorce and will it impact my payment? We have been divorced 7 years and I am 81
Hi. The divorce won't affect your benefit amount since you were married for more than 10 years, but yes you should notify Social Security. They would need to update your records to reflect the fact that you're now entitled as a divorced spouse rather than a spouse.
Best, Jerry
