One can collect social security of an ex of 10+yrs, if not remarried. If remarried but then divorced again, can 1st husband's SS be used? A 66 year has started collecting social security and was told that since there was a marriage which lasted over 10 years and if she hasn't remarried she could apply for the first husband's social security.
However there is a second marriage which has a legal separation, but no divorce, Would completion of that divorce qualify her then for the social security of the first husband?
