A free webinar on navigating spousal benefits when your marital history is complicated.
Life doesn’t always follow a straight line — and neither do your Social Security benefits. If you’ve been married more than once, gone through a divorce, or remarried, the rules around spousal benefits can get complicated fast. But understanding them could mean a significant difference in your monthly income.
The AMAC Foundation is hosting a free webinar that tackles the more complex side of Social Security spousal benefits — the scenarios most people don’t know to ask about.
Thursday, April 30, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET
In this session, you’ll learn:
- How spousal benefits work when multiple marriages are involved
- What happens to your benefits after a divorce
- How remarriage can affect your eligibility and benefit amount
- Strategies to maximize your benefits no matter your marital history
“Many people assume that once they’ve remarried or gone through a divorce, their options are limited,” said Deborah Dunlap, Social Security Advisor at the AMAC Foundation. “That’s often not the case. There are rules that can work in your favor — but only if you know about them. This webinar is designed to help people in complex situations understand exactly what they’re entitled to.”
This webinar is free and open to the public — you don’t need to be an AMAC member to attend.
This is Part 2 of a two-part series. If you missed Part 1, “What Living Spouses May Be Missing,” a recording may be available — check the registration page for details.

Do the same rules apply for spousal benefits whether the woman is drawing on her own account or if she is receiving benefits from her spouse’s account?
