We were divorced in 1975, and being young and silly, I asked for nothing in the divorce settlement. I raised my daughter singly and never remarried. My ex died in 1994. He had not remarried. Are there any loop holes that could help me claim his benefits. I am living soooo frugally. Thank you.

Unfortunately, if it wasn't written in the divorce decree, I don't think you'll be able to get anything from it. Remember, he is your ex, which means you have no ties to his pension. I know about this because of my divorce. Everything, including my pension, that was of value was put into my divorce documents. It also stated that from this point forward, everything was separate. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

You did not mention if you were talking about Social Security or perhaps a company pension.
If Social Security then the following applies:
If you 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 your former spouse is entitled to or receiving benefits. If you remarry before age 60, you generally cannot collect benefits on your former spouse's record unless your later marriage ends.
If you are talking about a private pension, then you are out of luck.
You were divorced 30+ years ago, you should have figured out how to live non-frugally by now. You've even had 10+ years without your daughter at home, so you can't say that childcare is a big expense.
So, may I recommend that you work on you, and not try to play the angles to get someone elses hard earned money.

you probably did no longer point out in case you have been talking approximately Social protection or possibly a company pension. If Social protection then right here applies: in case you divorced after a minimum of 10 years of marriage, you could convey at the same time retirement advantages on your former companion's Social protection checklist in case you're a minimum of age sixty two and your former companion is entitled to or receiving advantages. in case you remarry till now age 60, you many times can not convey at the same time advantages on your former companion's checklist except your later marriage ends. in case you're talking some private pension, then you somewhat are out of success. You have been divorced 30+ years in the past, you ought to have found out a thank you to stay non-frugally via now. you have even had 10+ years without your daughter at homestead, so which you will no longer say that childcare is a large rate. So, could i prefer to propose which you artwork on you, and not attempt to play the angles to get somebody elses annoying earned money.

you did not want any thing in the divorce, why do you want the money now? If anything your daughter should be entitled to any claims for his retirement fund or pension plan NOT YOU!

Generally - if you did not get a claim to it as part of the divorce decree, you are finished.
Plus, if he's dead - you are double finished.
Game over.
