Ex-husband died in 2014. In 2018 I started drawing Widow benefits from SS. His amount was higher than mine. He worked for Martin Marietta Co. The letter I received stated he listed himself as single and unmarried ,therefore they say I am not entitled. I am 63 and recently became disable due to RA. We divorced in 1989 and I do not remember anything about retirement. He worked at that time for Cooper Tire and Rubber Company. I did not get any retirement at the divorce. I do not recall any QDRO. Thank you
What period of time did the letter address? Did your husband retire before he died? Also, any retirement payments would depend on what your final decree states.
