Question:
when my ex retired spouse and I divorced, we agreed to keep the survivors benefit plan and I would be the person to receive it. He committed suicide last year in September and I found out he had taken me off of the plan without my knowing it. Would there be a chance that I could still get the benefits? I also had to sign our divorce decree under duress.

I don't know. That answer will have to come from DFAS since they're the plan administrators.
