HisWife Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 We're wondering! I have a friend that was married almost 38yrs. She found someone else and divorced her husband. Her EX husband passed away in 2012 and at that time she was 58yrs old. She remarried in 2014. She had just turned 60. Can she still collect her ex husband's SS?

kjs1989 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I am not entirely sure, but I think because she remarried that fact nullifies her eligibility to collect his benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TooSoon Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Wait, this gave me pause. If I remarry will my daughter lose her deceased father's social security? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TooSoon Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Wait, this gave me pause. If I remarry will my daughter lose her deceased father's social security? No. She will receive them till she's 18. Unless for some reason she marries before then Whew! That's what I thought but had a momentary panic. The greater concern is, in my mind, whether or not SS will exist until she turns 18..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HisWife Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 I'm thinking the fact that she is no longer her 1st husbands spouse, she is his EX spouse, may have something to do with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
