Can I Get Dependent Benefits From The Man I Lived With For 15 Years?
I am a 59 yr old mother and grandmother. I worked all my life raising 3 kids alone. I met someone at the same time my work went out of business. He worked on a dredge boat and we happily traveled around Alabama mostly (some Florida) with his job. We lived like we were married from 2004 till he died in 2019. I couldn't work because we moved every month or week with his job. I was totally dependent on him. He claimed me on his taxes and his perdium went in a separate account which I used to take care of home(camper we traveled in) He died from lung cancer without much notice.
