Will I Lose My Widow's Benefits If I Remarry?
I know you have covered this before, I am 73 years young and collecting SS from my first spouse marriage he is deceased and I am planning to remarry soon, will I lose my widow's retirement SS when I remarry? or should I just have a spiritual wedding?
Hi,
No need to worry. Marriages that occur after you reach age 60 have no effect on either your eligibility for widow's or surviving divorced spousal benefits nor your benefit rate. So, since you're already over age 60 you won't lose your widow's benefit if you remarry.
Best, Jerry
