I am divorced from my American husband after 10+ years of marriage. I am a citizen.
My ex-husband is now old enough to receive a pension, and I have heard that if you divorce after 10 years, you can receive half of your ex-husband's pension amount.
I wonder if I can still receive the pension ？
if anyone knows anything about this.

Benefits For Your Spouse
Even if they have never worked under Social Security, your spouse may be eligible for benefits if they are at least 62 years of age and you are receiving retirement or disability benefits. Your spouse can also qualify for Medicare at age 65.

As you say, if you were married for more than 10 years, you are entitled to half of your ex-husband's pension amount. It should not matter whether you were working or not. See the article "Post-Divorce Security" below.
https://happymoneyusa.com/all-about-social-security/
The conditions are
1 ． You must be at least 62 years old and single.
2 ． If you apply for benefits before the age of full benefits, they are reduced by that amount.
Therefore, we recommend that you visit the SS Office, explain your divorce situation, obtain the necessary application documents and other information, and begin the process.

My American husband and I divorced after 10 years ± and I received half of his pension at age 66 and switched to my own pension at age 70 because I was working myself. That way I get 25% more. No matter how many times the ex-husbands get married, if they are married for more than 10 years, each
ex-wife receives half of the pension. I recommend you to search Yu tubu on US pensions to get more information.
