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.
