If I Remarry May I Continue Drawing Half Of My Ex-Spouse's Social Security Benefits?
I am 66 and divorced after 13 years of marriage. If I remarry a foreigner who has never worked in the US, may I continue drawing half of my ex-spouse's social security benefits?
Hi,
The answer is no, assuming that your new spouse isn't drawing U.S. Social Security widow(er)'s, mother's, father's, disabled adult child's, divorced spouse's, or parents benefits. Otherwise, divorced spousal benefit entitlement terminates effective with the month of a person's remarriage. However, divorced spouses can be entitled to survivor benefits on the record of a deceased ex-spouse even if they've remarried, but only if their remarriage occurs at age 60 or later.
Best, Jerry
