divorced spouse benefits
Pension Plan Retirement Options Choosing between pension options can be a difficult task. Choosing an option that guarantees your spouse pension benefits after your death means extra security but also lower monthly benefits. On the other hand, choosing a pension option that only pays through your lifetime can provide larger monthly payments, but requires a lump sum to protect your spouse if she outlives you. Use this calculator to help decide which pension option works best for your particular retirement needs.
Usually Pension is given until the person and/or his spouse are alive. If the pension earner dies and leaves his spouse behind, she would get the pension until she is alive.
The start of a pension after a spouse dies depends on the specific pension plan and the terms outlined in the plan documents. It is recommended to consult with the pension plan provider or the employer's human resources department to understand the specific rules and regulations for when the pension would start after the death of a spouse.

Not enough information is given in order to answer. Entitled to the spouse's pension under what circumstances? Death? Divorce? Sham marriage? Common-law marriage? Not only is more information needed, all pension benefits are going to be different depending on the type of pension it is (e.g.: union pension - private employer pension - government pension - military pension?) You should probably consult with legal counsel over this question as it can get quite complicated depending on the circumstances, just a few of which are enumerated above.
In my case, the pension plan was started in January and my husband divorced his first wife in May of the same year. I happened upon this pension plan after my husband's death. I thought for sure the ex-wife would get it. However, there was wording that asked who he lived with for the 12 months preceding his death. In this case, it was me, the widowed wife. Therefore I am entitled to these benefits.
Yes
A wife is entitled to all disability benefits for which she qualifies in her own right. She is NOT entitled to ANY benefits relating to a person who has deceased and if she continues to claim or collect these benefits she is committing a crime (fraud). YES, If the husband died of a service connected disability or died of a presumptive issue, she is entitled to DIC (Dependents Idenity Compensation). Also if the husband served during a time of war (at least one day) and had at a minium of 90 days of active duty, the spouse could be eligible for a Widows pension.
Not until the veteran dies. The pension is the property of the veteran, NOT their spouse. While the veteran is alive, the spouse would not have any monetary claim on the veterans pension unless they divorced. Only then would she be able to make a claim on a percentage of his pension payment.
Depends on when the other person earned the pension, how long you were married and what state you live in.
