Social Security benefits can be confusing for a divorced client. There are several important and unique issues that must be considered before filing a claim to collect Social Security benefits.

To help make the analysis easier, we have created the “Am I Eligible for Social Security Benefits If I’m Divorced?” flowchart. It addresses these common Social Security issues that arise for clients who have experienced a divorce:

  • How the length of a marriage affects eligibility
  • Impact of multiple divorces
  • How the time since the divorce occurred affects eligibility
  • Age that benefits can be collected
  • Possible reduction in benefits if collected before Full Retirement Age
  • Impact of a remarriage

“This has been super helpful and I am getting rave reviews in using these flowcharts and checklists”
— Christoper, an advisor in Illinois
“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”
— An advisor in Texas
“You just continue to put out great content on fpPathfinder. The 'What Issues Should I Consider Before The End Of The Year' checklist is fantastic.”
— Chris, an advisor in Illinois
