Can A Spouse Receive Benefits Even If The Person They Marry Is Already Getting Benefits At The Time Of The Marriage?
if one gets married after they are receiving retirement benefits, can their spouse receive spousal benefits, or must one be married prior to applying for benefits?
Hi,
Yes, a new spouse can potentially become entitled to spousal benefits even if they marry after their spouse began receiving Social Security benefits (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.03/handbook-0305.html).
Best, Jerry
