Don't worry; anything she gets will not reduce your benefits.

Why? In calculating benefits for you, the rules act as if the ex-spouse does not exist. In calculating benefits for her, the rules act as if you do not exist.

Why? Not sure; maybe to try to help keep the peace between spouses and ex-spouses.

my mother is 67 years old and draws $164 in social security (retirement) and $400 and something a month in SSI. She is thinking of getting married and her fiance draws $700 a month in social security (retirement). If she gets married will her SSI check be reduced or cut out? And can she get SSDI instead "she is disabled"
