We were married 12 years and I was 56 when she died. I remarried at age 58 and divorced at age 59. I'm currently 61 and receiving retirement from the Federal Government and working parttime. Am I eligible to draw from her social security since she only received social security for 3 years before she passed away? If so, when am I eligible to draw it and what percent of her's will I get?

This is Medicare’s version of health insurance, covering health expenses incurred outside the hospital. The monthly premium for 2010 is $96.40 for most recipients. This applies to people who have the Social Security Administration withhold their Part B Medicare premiums and who earn $85,000 or less per year (or $170,000 for married couples filing jointly). All other Medicare beneficiaries will pay a premium of $110.50 per month I make less than $85K per year and according to the following, I should pay $96.40 per month, but am paying $199 per month: Help, please.

I raised my children by myself until my oldest was 15 then they went to get to know their father for a short time.He didnt pay child support for the first 10 years.The reason for our divorce was due to alcohol and spousal abuse, if not for that I would have stayed with him. I now feel that the laws should be changed for women who have children with these men because although I divorced him after only 5 years I raised his children and so remained connected to him and I never remarried. Anyway wondering how other women feel on this subject? I was only married to my ex husband for 5 years but we had two children together.
