[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^17:22 again. I missed the part about how she wasn't married 10 years to the second guy. But since she was married 20 years to the first guy, she's entitled to benefits on his record as long as she stays unmarried.

Or, if she marries the 70-year-old, she gets spousal benefits from the 70-year-old once she turns 62 (or hopefully waits until 66).[/quote]

From my understanding, she won't get social security from either husbands because while marriage # 1 lasted a while, she remarried so she therefore forfeited his social security by remarrying husband # 2. Since marriage # 2 didn't last ten years, she doesn't get any of his either. Since her most recent fiancee is 70 and has ex-wives of his own, I don't see how she could see any of his social security either. [/quote]

As long as she was married to Husband #1 for at least 10 years, and is still unmarried, she can get a spouse benefit based on his record once she turns 62. If she was married to both ex-spouses for 10+ years each, and was still unmarried, she'd get the higher of the two spousal benefits (again, once she turns 62). If she remarries again, to this 70-year-old, she can no longer get a benefit on the ex-spouse's record, but she'd get one based on Husband #3's benefit, again once she turns 62. [/quote]
