Social security cards

Dear Attorneys,

 

I currently receive Social Security Disability Income (SSDI), and am going through a divorce. I know my benefits will change once my spouse’s income is not taken into account. However, I don’t know how much it will change. How do I find this out?

 

Sincerely,

Income Inquiry

Dear Income,

 

Take the change in your income into consideration is a great step in the right direction. If you have a case worker through social security, you should contact him or her and see if they can do a recalculation of your benefits. You may also want your attorney to sign a release for you to speak directly to your case worker. Hopefully, your attorney and case worker can work together to determine first what the modification of benefits would be and then second, how, if at all, any property settlements and/or alimony would affect your benefits. If your family law attorney is unsure as to how to proceed, you can also consult with a social security benefits attorney.
