  Can I request a Statement of my benefits on my divorced husband's record?
  Question
  I am divorced, but I think I am eligible for benefits on my ex-husband's record. Can I get one of these Statements on his record?
  Answer
 

For information about potential benefits on someone else's record, you should call or visit your local office. If your former spouse is still living, privacy rules prohibit us from giving you his or her record, so we can't give you his Statement. But we can tell you what benefits you may be entitled to, after we have established your relationship to him.

If your spouse died sometime in the past, this kind of Statement won't give you the most up-to-date estimate of benefits you might receive. Our telephone service staff at 1-800-772-1213 or personnel at your local Social Security office can give you the correct information from other records.
