Where this section sits in the code
- Title 20—Employees' Benefits
- CHAPTER III—SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION
- PART 404—FEDERAL OLD-AGE, SURVIVORS AND DISABILITY INSURANCE (1950- )
- Subpart D—Old-Age, Disability, Dependents' and Survivors' Insurance Benefits; Period of Disability
Your wife's or husband's monthly benefit is equal to one-half the insured person's primary insurance amount. If you are entitled as a divorced wife or as a divorced husband before the insured person becomes entitled, we will compute the primary insurance amount as if he or she became entitled to old-age benefits in the first month you are entitled as a divorced wife or as a divorced husband. The amount of your monthly benefit may change as explained in § 404.304.
