I and currently 47 on disability benefits for several years after a spine accident on the job as a first responder. I was married for just over 10 years divorced now about 10 years. I learned recently there is something called divorced spouse benefits. It was told to me to check into receiving money based on his earnings. He's still working and lives several states away. I believe I'm receiving my max disability benefits. But wanted to know more about divorced spouse benefits. Or would it only apply once I reach full retirement age?
