Would I Lose My Widow's Benefits If I Remarry?
I am currently receiving widows benefits through Social Security. Would I loose that benefit if I were to remarry at any point in the future? I am currently 61 yrs old
Hi,
No, remarriages at age 60 or later have no effect of a person's eligibility for widow(er)s or divorced survivor benefits (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.04/handbook-0406.html).
Best, Jerry
