Can I Switch From Drawing Benefits On One Divorced Husband's Record To Another One?

Can I switch SS benefits from one divorced husband to 2nd one, married 15 yrs to one & 10 Yrs to other

Hi,

Potentially, yes. In some cases it's possible to file for reduced benefits on one ex's record at age 62 and then switch to unreduced benefits on the other ex's record at your full retirement age, but it all depends on your individual circumstances. Our maximization software can help you determine your best course of action.

Best, Jerry
