When Can a Spouse Collect Social Security?

But if you're married, divorced, or widowed, you could also qualify for additional benefits.
Not everyone is entitled to these types of Social Security, but if you qualify, you could boost your payments by hundreds of dollars per month. Here's how to see whether you're eligible.
