Thank you for your time

Hi Sarah,

I'm sorry to hear about all of the problems you've been having. Unfortunately, my only area of expertise is Social Security benefits so that's all I can try to help you with. You don't mention your age, but in order to potentially qualify for spousal or divorced spousal benefits you must be at least age 62. And, if you're still married your husband would have to be drawing his benefits in order for you to potentially be eligible for spousal benefits. If you divorce you could potentially draw divorced spousal benefits at age 62 or older even if your ex isn't yet drawing his benefits, but in that case he would have to be at least age 62 and your divorce must be final for at least 2 years.

Social Security does administer a needs based benefit called Supplemental Security Income (SSI), so if your only income is Social Security disability and you have less than $2000 in resources excluding the value of a home and one vehicle then you may want to look into filing for that program. For more information on SSI, refer to the following Social Security website: https://www.ssa.gov/ssi/text-eligibility-ussi.htm.

Best, Jerry
