Fellow blogger’s I have a question for you. Are any of you retired on disability? If so do you know if you were to marry after you retired, would your spouse be able to collect Social Security benefits too? I see on my Social Security Statement I receive every year that if I was getting disability benefits my spouse and children would also collect Social Security also. What I don’t know is would my spouse still get it if we wasn't marry at the time I retired?
If your in need of disability insurance check out this site.

It does not matter if you marry before or after you apply for benefits. There are other requirements that apply including the age of your new spouse (at least at 62) and the length of time you have been married (usually one year minimum). There are exceptions to these requirements if you have a child together. Also, no benefits may be payable if your spouse gets a higher retirement benefit on his or her own work record.
Thanks Diane for the information.
