Can My Wife Claim Benefits On Her First Husband's Record?
Hi Larry, My wife of 3 years is 59 years old. She was married before for over ten years. Her former spouse is dead. Can she claim a widow's benefit at age 60 even if we are now married? I am 67.
Hi,
No, since she remarried before she reached age 60, she would not be eligible for benefits on her first husband's record for as long as your marriage to her continues.
Best, Jerry
