I have been trying to make sense of the www.ssa.gov site, and nothing seems to entirely fit what happened to me, but my dyslexia makes it very hard to read legalese because of too many if/then clauses and statements. My situation does not seem that abnormal, so I suspect the answer is there, hidden under a billion sub-clauses. Here is my situation:
- I was married 25 years to a natural US citizen who died in 2014.
- No divorce occurred (that site seems very focused on divorce)
- I am not disabled
- We had one son, he's still alive, and is 28.
- I am 49 now, and will remarry in October
What happens to my late wife's SSN benefits? Are they simply gone because I remarried? I *think* that's what's implied, but I want to be sure.
