Maybe. IF you can show that the marriage met the STATE requirements for a common law marriage, yes. Section 216(h)(1) of the Social Security Act provides that an applicant is the wife of an insured individual for purposes of such Act if the courts of the State in which such insured individual is domiciled at the time the application for wife's insurance benefits is filed would find that the applicant and such insured individual were validly married.
However, if you have not met the tests set by that state, or if that state does not recognize a common law marriage, no. You need to consult an attorney in YOUR state.

Can common law marriage help you get social security?
nopeThis is incorrect - Social Security has to follow the guidelines of each state. I live in Alabama where common law marriage is recognized. I have a case pending right now. We were married nine years - and divorced. We got back together a year later and kept everything in both our names, and were together a total of 18 years until his sudden death in a car accident. Social Security must recognize common law marriage if the state you live in does. In addition, if you are now living in a state that does not have common law marriage (such as California) but previously resided in a state that does recognize common law marriage and in that state your relationship qualified as a common law marriage, the Social Security Administration will (for S.S.I. and S.S. benefits determination) follow the determination of the state that does call your relationship a common law marriage- even if you now reside in a state that doesn't recognize common law marriage.
