From Money Mondays with financial expert Katrina Semmes:
“If your marriage lasted a minimum of 10 years and you aren’t planning on walking down the aisle prior to filing for your Social Security benefits, you may qualify for spousal benefits based off of your ex-spouse’s record. So what if your ex-spouse remarried? According to Social Security Administration, it doesn’t make a difference. The amount of spousal benefit that you would qualify for would not affect your ex-spouse’s benefits (they actually won’t even know unless you choose to tell them).”
