Best Answer

The widow or widower of a deceased person who worked long enough can receive benefits. Generally, you must be married to the deceased person for at least nine months to qualify for benefits based on your spouse's Social Security benefits.


Generally, a divorced person can collect under the former spouse's benefit if the marriage lasted at least ten years and the applicant must be unmarried.


You can find more information at the Social Security Administration website.

10 years and...

These are benefits paid to divorced spouses of workers who are receiving (or are eligible to receive) Social Security benefits.

In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Be at least 62 years old and not currently married
  • Be divorced from a person who receives Social Security retirement or disability benefits
  • Not be getting a higher Social Security retirement benefit based on your own work.

No, your social security entitlements are individual to you, you can only benefit from your husbands if he dies while you are married. If you had any children with your first husband you may be entitled to security points while you were looking after them, you need to check up on this. (By the way this is relevant to the UK only)
