sounds like someone is a gold digger
Probably. Being that you were married for more than 10 years, you are certainly entitled to benefits. Since you are currently not married, you can apply for the benefits of your first husband if they are greater than your own benefits. As always, call your SSA office for details and what documentation is required.
