Legal Question in Social Security Law in Texas

Eligible for benefits

My ex-husband died 11/09/2004, I was told by a friend that I might could get his social security benefit. We were married for 12+ years and neither one of us is re-married. I am still paying of our debt for the marriage and was thinking this could help a lot. Thank you for your time. Jennifer Bateman
