Can I draw social security off a deceased spouse if I had already remarried
Hi. You can potentially qualify for surviving spousal benefits on the record of a former spouse even if you subsequently remarry, but only if your subsequent marriage has ended in death or divorce, or if your subsequent marriage occurred after you reached age 60. The full requirements for widow's benefits are outlined in the following section of Social Security's handbook: https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.04/handbook-0401.html.
Best, Jerry
