Question: 1 / 660

What will happen to Tom's widower's benefits if he remarries at age 60 or older?

Benefits will be increased

Benefits will be terminated

Benefits remain unaffected

If Tom remarries at age 60 or older, his widower's benefits will remain unaffected. Under Social Security rules, individuals who are receiving survivor benefits can marry after reaching age 60 without losing those benefits. The survivor benefit is the payment made to a spouse or dependent following the death of a wage earner. Since Tom remarrying at this age does not impact his eligibility for the benefits he's receiving, he will continue to receive the full amount.

It's important to note that if he were to remarry before age 60, his survivor benefits would terminate. Additionally, the other options such as benefits being increased, halved, or terminated do not apply since they inaccurately reflect the impact of remarriage at this specific age on survivor benefits.
