Would I Qualify For Benefits?
larry. My husband and I were married a short time until he had a stroke. Because he was a very wealthy man a group of attorneys with the help of a small town Judge divorced us> My husband died in May of this year; would I qualify for any benefits??
Hi,
I'm sorry for your loss.
If your divorce was final before your husband's death and unless you were married for at least 10 years, then it doesn't sound like you could be eligible for any survivor benefits on his record.
Best, Jerry
