How Will My Widow's Benefits Be Affected If I Remarry?

I started taking widows SS at 60 years old for $1400/mo.
I'm in a relationship now and will consider marriage. How will my widows SS benefit be affected if I were to marry after I reached the age of 62?

Hi,

No worries. Remarriages at or after age 60 have no effect on widow(er)'s benefits.

Our maximization software can help you determine if you could have other filing options with regard to benefits on your own or your new spouse's record.

Best, Jerry
