My friend was married to THREE husbands, first two barely over 10 years each and last one was longest, until husband's death. She got $$ from all 3 husbands. She's comfy now. David S.

Oh, good grief! Look here: http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/299/~/qualifying-for-div orced-spouse-benefits I really doubt that anyone can receive more than one SS benefit at a time. Do you have a reference for your statement? Or, perhaps you meant that she received SS on account of each husband in succession?
