I am a widow collecting my husbands Social Security benefits and am dating a widower who is collecting his own benefits. If we were to marry each other would I lose my husband's benefits?
Hi,
No. Remarriages occurring after a widow reaches age 60, or age 50 if the widow is disabled and eligible for disabled widow's benefits, do not affect the widow's eligibility for widow's benefits on a prior spouse's Social Security account. Therefore, if you're already receiving widow's benefits you must have already reached the age at which a remarriage would not affect your benefits.
Best, Jerry
