What Effect Will My Remarriage Have On My Current Widow's Benefit?
I am a widow receiving my survivor Social Security benefit since the age of 60. I am currently 67 and planning to remarry. What effect will this have on my current benefit?
Hi. Your new marriage won't have any effect on your benefits. Remarriages that occur after a person reaches age 60 do not prevent them from qualifying for benefits on a previous deceased spouse's account (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.04/handbook-0406.html).
Best, Jerry
