Collecting Social Security from ex

[Parks62]

What is the name of your state? If someone from New York remarries and her ex husband dies then several years later her current husband dies. Can she collect social security from her first husband? He never remarried. Also can she possibly collect from both? Are the children of the deceased entitled to anything?

It depends. Go to www.ssa.gov. It will explain all benefits available and the criteria for each.
