My ex husband died and I was told that since neither of us remarried I was entitled to the benefit because we had been married more than 15 years. Is this true?

You are not entitled to it because requirements say "current spouse''

Sure, but is it really worth going through all of the red tape, filling out all the forms, and dealing with the idiotic bureaucracy that runs Social Security Administration for only $255?

I thought the death benefit was available to everyone who has received social security

Not just the death benefit, you might be entitled to a percentage of the monthly social security benefits. My grandmother collects 50% of her deceased ex-husband's monthly S.S. benefits.

My mom just passed and I am her sole survivor and paid for everything. SS told me today I am not entitled to the $255 as I am not a disabled child.

Yes you can claim it. and they may even let you draw off him. you just need to contact the Social Security Office. They will tell you what to bring with you.
Good Luck

Yes, if you were married to him for 10 years before you divorced.
