Can I collect my ex husband’s Social Security when he dies?
If your ex-spouse has died, you may collect Social Security survivors benefits, which follow different rules than those for a living ex-spouse. You can apply for benefits as early as age 60. And if you remarry after you reach age 60 (or age 50 if you are disabled), you will still be eligible for survivors benefits.
