Social Security can provide essential income for retirees, especially for those without personal work history. Many individuals who haven't saved adequately rely on Social Security benefits to sustain themselves in later years. However, even if someone hasn't worked, they may still qualify for spousal benefits from their spouse's Social Security earnings. These benefits are available to both married and divorced individuals, ensuring that even those who are divorced can receive assistance without needing to wait for their ex-spouse to claim their benefits.
One nice thing about Social Security is that even if you're not eligible for benefits of your own, you may qualify for spousal benefits.
Spousal benefits also don't just apply to people who are married; if you're divorced, you may be entitled to spousal benefits as well.
