Yes. She must be at least 62 years old. She would receive the same amount as if she was still married to you. If you die she can collect it even if she was remarried. If she wqorked and can draw on her on account, then she would only get 37 1/2% of yours plus hers. Something along those lines, not quite sure about the last part.

hello - from the social security website - If you are divorced after at least 10 years of marriage, you can collect retirement benefits on your former spouse's Social Security record if you are at least age 62 and if your former spouse is entitled to or receiving benefits. If you remarry, you generally cannot collect benefits on your former spouse's record unless your later marriage ends (whether by death, divorce, or annulment).

If that person was married to you for 10 years and never married again he/she can make a claim to collect your Social Security.

The way I understand it is : If you were married to your first for at least 10 years she would get it before any other spouse.
