My father born in 1945 migrated here in the US in 1992 with my mom. He worked from 1992 until 2000. They went back to the Philippines to start a business. In 1999 he had a spine surgery. He we supposed to go back here in the US this past May of 2011, but unfortunately he passed away on March 29, 2011 due to aneurysm.
They got married in 1972. They got divorce in 1995. My mom remarried in but separated. My Parent got back together in 1999. In the Philippines they are still legally married since there is no divorce in the Philippines. My mom is now here with me, can she collect my dad’s SS? Is she eligible?
