Married or Divorced? You Could Be Owed Extra Social Security Benefits.
Social Security benefits can go a long way toward helping you enjoy a more comfortable retirement, but it can be tough to pay the bills with your benefits alone.
The average retiree receives around $1,500 per month in benefits, according to the Social Security Administration. That comes out to roughly $18,000 per year, and unless you have a lot of money saved in your retirement fund, it can be challenging to make ends meet.
Fortunately, you may be entitled to more money in benefits than you think. If you're married or divorced, you might be eligible to collect extra cash in spousal or divorce benefits.
