Re: Can I go back and get part of ex husband's pension

Hi,

Yes I can draw 675 on my own. I just cannot live on that or I can draw 675 on his ss. To get the full amount earned I have to be 66 years of age. I lost 17 years of being married that I did not aquire points towards ss. So I need to keep working another 3 years. If I had to retire now I would loose my home as I would not be able to afford taxes or health insurance. My only hope of retiring before 66 is if he dies, then I would get at least 1200 a month. So that is where I'm at, if I retire before my full retirement age I'm penalized. I do feel cheated that this has happened and it is not just me, it has happened to thousands of women like me who stayed home and took care of their children and homes. My husband decided he wanted a man. I and the children got tossed aside. He is now married to a woman who took care of him after a bad motorcycle accident that put him in the hospital for 9 months. Needless to say the boyfriend left. We had only been divorced 3 days when that happened.

I do have faith.
Karen
