... can she still get part A for free if her EX-husband did pay FICA for 10 years? If yes, what kind of proof she needs to show?

TIA.

If they were married for at least 10 years she should be fine. She should not only qualify for Medicare based on his earnings but for Social Security benefits as well. She should bring a marriage certificate and proof of the divorce to the Social Security office.
 
Did the ex work for someone (like a school system) that did not participate in FICA or did he somehow manage to weasel out of paying?

Her ex-husband had a good job and paid FICA for more than 10 years, she did some part-time work but did not pay 10 years in total.
