I'm pretty sure if you weren't still married when he died then you can't. I think your children(if you have any) may be able to.
This question sounds really greedy.....the man is dead......forget about the money

You only need to be married for 10 years to be eligible to draw on his social security. If you are not remarried, you should have no problem.

Of course you can if you're not currently married now, but you won't be able to collect until you are 62 or 65. Not sure which one. Even if he remarried you would be able to collect if you never remarried. If you have any children under the age of 18 with him, you can collect for them. I would also investigate life insurance policies if he had any. You might still be a beneficiary if he never remarried. Good luck

Yes....if you haven't remarried anyone. You only need to be married 10 years to draw from deceased or exes.

Yes you can. You need to contact a social security office for more details.

As long as you were married for over 10 years, yes you can. That is unless you have remarried, in that case NO.

Only if you were his first wife. You must show a copy of marriage license and death certificate. Go in person to your local Social security office to submit them and they can enter all info in database.

If you have minors or if your retired may be the way unless he died in the military or had a 401 plan at work.Call an attorney to make sure.

I don't think you can if you were divorced before he died. The only way might be if he was legally obligated to pay you some kind of support when he died, but even then I don't think so.

I think you can but you have to be over 65 to do it.
