Social Security Benefits for Working Ex-Spouses
The earnings limit may apply to your ex-spouse the same as you if they continue working while receiving benefits. Also if your ex-spouse receives a pension based on work not covered by Social Security, their Social Security benefit may be impacted.
The benefit level that your ex-spouse may receive will not impact the amount of Social Security benefit either you or your current spouse may receive.
