Can't You Get Remarried After Getting Your Ex-Spousal SS Benefits?
Can't you get remarried after getting your ex spouse ssa benefit
Hi,
If your ex is still living, then the answer is almost always no. Divorced spousal benefits terminate if the beneficiary remarries, unless they marry someone who is also receiving certain types of Social Security auxiliary or survivor benefits (https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0300202045).
However, marriages occurring at age 60 or later don't cause surviving divorced spousal benefits to terminate. Also, if a person is receiving disabled surviving divorced spousal benefits at age 50 or later their benefits wouldn't terminate due to a remarriage.
Best, Jerry
