Married or Divorced? The Social Security Benefit You Could Be Missing Out On
Around 90% of seniors age 65 and older collect Social Security benefits, and for millions, these monthly checks are a primary source of income.
While most people are familiar with retirement benefits (which you generally qualify for once you've worked and paid Social Security taxes for at least 10 years), these aren't the only benefits you may be entitled to receive.
If you're married or divorced, you may be eligible for additional money each month on top of your regular retirement benefits. In some cases, these benefits could boost your payments by hundreds of dollars per month.
