Legal non-citizen resident gets spousal benefits | Sandusky Register Dear Rusty: We have gone to the Social Security office because we were told that my husband might be eligible to receive Social Security benefits, but they told him he had not worked enough quarters and that he could not collect benefits. My husband is from England and holds a green card, and we have been married for 8 years living in the United States. I am 71 and started receiving my Social Security a few months after I retired at age 69. My husband is also 71 but according to Social Security he can't get benefits. Is it because he is not a citizen? I read in one of your articles that a wife who had not worked outside the home was entitled to ½ of her husband's benefit at age 69. So why can't my husband get benefits from my record?
