Question
I live in Costa Rica. I’m 68 years old (born 1952), my ex-wife is 75. We were married for 14 years and she made more money than me.
I retired at 62 and began receiving Social Security. Would I qualify for a restricted application, even though I’m receiving my own benefits? If I qualify, can I receive 6 months of benefits as a lump sum, retroactively?
