Can I Still Draw Widow's Benefits On My Former Husband's Record If My Current Marriage Ends?
I remarried before my eligibility to draw benefits on my late husband. But if my new marriage is not working and I divorce can I still draw my late husband's widow's benefits?
Hi,
Yes, if your current marriage ends in death or divorce, or if you were at least age 60 when you married your current spouse, you could potentially claim survivor benefits on the record of a former spouse provided that you meet the other requirements (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.04/handbook-0401.html).
Our software (https://maximizemysocialsecurity.com/purchase) could likely help you determine your best strategy for claiming benefits regardless of whether or not your current marriage ends.
Best, Jerry
