Can i still draw my benifits from social security for me and my kids if my ex husband gets it and if so can my benifit get redused or could the kids collect off of him?
Your question is not real clear. If your ex-spouse is collecting retirement or disability, you can collect for your children. You cannot collect for yourself until you are at least age 62 and then you had to be married for at least 10 years. If your ex-husband is deceased you and the children can collect survivor’s benrfits. The benefits you receive are based on the amount of earnings your ex had when he worked. There is also a family maximum that can be paid. Divorced spouse’s benefits at age 62 are paid outside of the family maximum.
