Social Security / Social Security claiming

Collecting Social Security based on a divorced spouse’s earning record.

“A person born before Jan. 2, 1954, and who has reached her/his full retirement age, can file for just the divorced spouse’s benefit and delay claiming her/his retirement benefit until a later date.”
