No time requirement for spouse benefit eligibility
A reader asks about retirement benefits on a spouse or ex-spouse record and whether marriage duration matters. They mention a Personal Earnings and Benefit Estimate Statement showing a $1,100 monthly benefit at age 42 and question inflation adjustment, noting a future value change and interest in how benefits are adjusted for inflation.

Social Security and Medicare questions answered
A reader asks about stepchild benefits ending after divorce, Medicare coverage for dental and eye care, and delaying retirement past 65. The SSA notes benefits end when the divorce finalizes, Medicare excludes most dental and eye services, and delaying retirement increases benefits via a monthly credit, 55 percent per year for 1965 retirees rising to 8 percent for those turning 65 in 2008.
