Are you entitled to a portion of your spouse's Social Security benefit?
Posted By Lisa M. Vanden Heuvel on Dec 16, 2009 8:33am PST
If spouses are married for 10 years or more, then a spouse is entitled to half of the other spouses Social Security or his/her own, whichever is higher. The decision on which one to select can be made when the application for Social Security is filed.
