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.

Yes, you can collect spousal maintenance from your second husband and Social Security benefits based on your first husband's record, provided you meet the eligibility criteria for both. Spousal maintenance is determined by the terms of your marriage and divorce agreements, while Social Security benefits depend on your work history or your ex-spouse's eligibility. It’s important to consult with a legal or financial advisor to understand how these benefits interact and any potential implications.
Yes, ex-wives of deceased remarried disabled veterans may be eligible for certain benefits, depending on specific circumstances. If the veteran had a service-connected disability and the ex-wife was married to the veteran for at least ten years, she may qualify for benefits such as health care and survivor benefits. Additionally, if the veteran’s marriage to the ex-wife was prior to the marriage to the surviving spouse, there could be further implications for benefits distribution. However, eligibility can vary based on individual situations and should be verified through the Department of Veterans Affairs or legal counsel.
Social Security Disability benefits are exempt from any debt collection except for child support obligations. SS benefits can in some cases be garnished for spousal maintenance, but the spouse who is entititled must file a civil suit to obtain a judgment for collection of the court ordered amount.
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.
