Can I get any survivor benefits? My husband died in the Philippines November 6, 2014. We were married on December 6, 2010. I haven't been to the USA and I don't have a Social Security number.

You are going to have to talk to a Social Security office to find out the answer.
If you are not in the US then you may have to write a letter to the Social Security Services in the US.
Questions come to mind.. that you may need to know to write your letter.
Why do you think you might be entitled to benefits?
Was your husband a US citizen?
Did your husband have a SS number?
Was your husband a military person?
Where do you live?
Are there any American organizations that you can seek help in finding answers near you?
You may be eligible but it may take a lot of time and research to find out.
I have had really good service from the Social Security Service Centers. They have helped me make good decision about when and how to apply as well as survivor benefits.
