Not currently. However, this benefit was specifically enumerated among those cited in a February 11, 2013 memo from Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta that would become available to same-sex spouses of US Military personnel no later than October 1, 2013, or sooner, should the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") be repealed or struck down.

If she has served her sentence and is lawfully married to you, yes, there is no prohibition against it. However, if she is still serving a term in prison, I don't believe she is eligible to collect it while incarcerated and it may have to be escrowed. Contact your military legal system and ask.
