Is there any government help for divorced women
A divorced woman may be entitled to receive up to 50% of her ex-husband's Social Security benefit, provided she is unmarried and her ex-husband's benefit is higher than what she would receive on her own. If they were married for 46 years, she may be eligible for spousal benefits even if her ex-husband has remarried, as long as she meets certain requirements. It's recommended to consult with the Social Security Administration for specific details regarding individual circumstances.

Whether or not a woman can collect on her husbands social security depends on several factors. First, she has to be old enough or disabled. Second, she has to have been married long enough. Then, she must be widowed or divorced. Other rules may apply. As with everything involving the government, exceptions exist. You will need to see someone at the social security office. If you try to contact someone by phone, you will get a recorded message that someone will get back to you. One person has been waiting 20 years for his call to be returned. You can try the internet. You may or may not get satisfaction. If you visit a social security office, you will be able to get an appointment with a live human being. Go to the SSA.gov website
