An ex wife who never remarried is able to collect social security benefits from an ex husband who has died. This is true even if the ex husband took his own life as long as he paid into the system.
yes you can
Perhaps you can not do this (as you are now divorced and nothing to do with him) what did you agree between you (legally) when you divorced in terms of settlement.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To refresh your memory, that rule is that a marriage must have lasted at least 10 years before a divorce in order for someone to be able to collect spousal benefits on an ex's earnings record. Or to put it another way, at least a decade must elapse between "I do" and "I don't."For example, in addition to being married at least 10 years, only those people who are currently single can collect spousal benefits on a former spouse. Plus, both ex-spouses must be at least 62 years old.Generally, if a divorced spouse remarries, he or she loses the right to collect on a living ex-spouse unless that subsequent marriage ends in death, divorce or annulment. Butthere is an exception to the remarriage rule when it comes to a deceased ex-spouse.If you wait until at least age 60 to remarry, then you retain the right to collect benefits as a surviving ex-spouse.If you qualify (10 year marriage, 62 or more, not remarried (unless he or she died) you can collect. But the paper work can be confusing so ask someone who is VERY familiar with the ins and outs.

Before you add another complication to your life, sort out the past. You need to put your new fiance into your financial picture, because she could end up helping you pay back the money--which would probably not be her choice.

If the spouses are still legally married, then all of the regular rules apply - there is no restriction for living in the same household. If eligible, spousal benefits can be payable to one spouse based on the other spouse's record. The other spouse must have filed for benefits to enable this spousal benefit to be received. If the spouses in question are divorced (therefore ex-spouses), as long as they were married for at least 10 years and the spouse who is planning to file for benefits on the other spouse's record has not remarried, this is allowed as well. The other spouse must be at least 62 years of age (doesn't have to file), and all other restrictions apply. In both cases, if the spouse who is filing for benefits on the other spouse's record is younger than Full Retirement Age (66 for those born between 1943-1954), then you must file for your own benefit in addition to the spousal benefit at the same time, and both will be reduced due to early filing. The maximum amount of spousal benefit is equal to 50% of the other spouse's benefit amount at his or her Full Retirement Age.
