Anne,  if you were married to the man for at least 10 years, you can file for his pension, if you are of retirement age.  You can also file for his social security.

As an ex myself I know that to collect SS the 10 year rule applies.   However, you do not collect his benefits.  Only your own based on former husband's earnings or your own whichever is higher. That is the way your benefits are computed and paid out to you.  His benefits died with him. Furthermore, you must be of an age to legally collect retirement benefits.   If you re-married all benefits based on ex's income earnings are automatically cancelled and you are no longer entitled to make a claim based on them.

You are going to need to collect a few documents.  If your exhusband remarried after your divorce, you are only entitled to benefits if you were married to him longer than she was.  I realize that there are probably a lot of other "little things" that also apply and things change over the years.  But that is the way the regs read when I was in, I retired about 10 years ago.  I was the one in the service, I had no spouse or other dependents.  But I do know that you'll at least need to have certified copies of your marriage certificate and his DD Forms 214.  Take them to the nearest VA Office.  They will tell you what else you need to do.  Good Luck!
