As it seems your ex-husband is still alive, you may be eligible at age 62 for benefits based on his Social Security record. See: http://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.03/handbook-0311.html

Receiving these benefits, however, would also affect your SSI. All but $20 of these benefits would be used to reduce your monthly SSI.
