I don’t believe non citizens are eligible for ss benefits.

Can My Non-citizen Wife Receive Social Security Benefits After I Die?
If you've paid in to the Social Security system through payroll taxes, you are entitled to retirement benefits as well as disability benefits, if you're unable to work because of a medical condition. In addition, your spouse may be eligible for survivors benefits should you pass away. There is no citizenship requirement, but survivors must be in the country legally to draw benefits.

By a change in the immigration law in 2009, a non-citizen widow may apply for permanent residency status, no matter how long she was married to a US citizen. Social Security survivors benefits are payable to non-citizens who are in the country legally, either as permanent or temporary residents.
These are the andwers you get ehen you google the question.

Also the s.s. Site has guidelines that are clear.
I applied online for my mother who now lives in eretz yisroel

my question is this. My aunt who is non American lives here for quite a number of years and worked so payed into ss benifits however she moved to Israel and lost her green card two years ago since she was no longer living in the us. Her husband is American and is receiving ss benifits now even while living abroad. How can she go about getting her benifits??

She can go to the US Embassy or Consulate to apply. The green card situation may be an issue but call ahead to explain the details.
