First wives club


Recommended Posts

I apologize in advance if this subject or queation has been asked...

My sister's husband passed away unexpectedly couple months ago. They have been married for 20 years. He divorced his first wife after 15 years of marriage. During the marriage with first wife he was recieving disability. Later determined that he was being overpaid. About 300 was being deducted from his retirement for the repayment. My sister recieves a letter stating she now responsible for the remaining balance that he owes on the overpayment. FF to today she was told that because hia firat wife was married to him for more than 10 years she too is entitled to his benefits. So if she is entitled to his deatb benefits is she responsible for the overpayment as well as my sister? Please someone help me with this.
