My ex husband and I were married and divorced 1986. We lived together for three more years later on without remarrying. He passed away five years ago. Am I entitled to any S.S. benefits of his? I never remarried and receive my own S. S.
Hi. No. If you weren't married to your spouse at the time of his death, you would need to have been married to him for at least 10 years in order to potentially qualify for survivor benefits (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.04/handbook-0403.html).
Best, Jerry
