You have already asked this question and still need to consult with a family law attorney, instead of seeking specific legal advice on a website designed to answer general legal questions.
answered on Mar 26, 2013
Yes. Even if he or she has never worked under Social Security, your spouse may be able to get benefits if he or she is at least 62 years of age and you are receiving or eligible for retirement or disability benefits. He or she can also qualify for Medicare at age 65.
