Here are some things to think about if you're trying to decide to buy or rent a home that you might leave within five years:
People may be eligible for benefits from ex-spouses’ work records if the marriage lasted at least 10 years. The rules are complex. Here’s a primer.When you apply for a spousal or divorced spousal benefit, you’re considered to be applying for your own benefit as well. You’ll get the larger of the two amounts, and you can’t switch later.
Your divorced spousal benefit can be up to 50% of your former husband’s benefit, but the amount would be reduced if you apply before your own full retirement age of 67. If you were still married, your husband would have to apply for benefits to trigger your ability to file for a spousal benefit, but that requirement doesn’t apply to benefits for divorced people.
Your government pension also may affect how much you get from Social Security. If the pension comes from a job that didn’t pay into Social Security, your Social Security retirement benefit could be reduced by up to half. Benefits based on someone else’s work record — spousal and survivor benefits and their equivalents for divorced people — could be eliminated entirely.
You won’t be affected by these provisions if you’ve been paying Social Security taxes while working this government job, or if you paid Social Security taxes for 30 years on “substantial earnings” from an earlier job.
