Draws

I can draw on my x-husband's social security next year and he draws the maximum, how much is that?

He earned a six figure income in the last 10 years of his employment. So I know he draws the maximum and since we were married 28 years and I have not been remarried, I know I can draw on his base of income. In planning for my retirement I just need to know how much I can count on drawing.

1. I'm guessing about 2,000/month is max. you get up to HALF that amount, so figure $1,000 a month.
2. He might draw the max, but if he had only six years contributing the max, it might not put him at the top level. 2K a month is a good estimate, and you will get 1K if you have reached your full retirement age. You will get less (up to 25% less) if you are between age 62 and full retirement age. You can contact the SSA and they will provide you with the exact number.
3. Great you are not only incredibly old but you are also a gold digger. The Double Whammy!
4. Assuming that he passed at retirement age and that he had a full 35 years of work history, and that he qualified for a maximum withdrawl durring his work history, you would be in the $1900 range. If you give his DOB and age passed, I can give you a more accurrate amount.
