Full question: I am a single woman, 62, caring for my disabled adult child who gets SSDI from his deceased father. Am I also entitled to survivor benefits if got remarried but divorced after 4 years?

Hi there,

If you were married for ten or more years to your disabled adult child’s father, you are most likely eligible for survivor benefits now. Since you are over age 60, you may remarry and still collect those survivor benefits. These benefits may be reduced if you earn over the earnings limits.
