If you remarry after you are 60, you will be entitled to benefits from your former spouse. After you reach 62, you can elect to receive benefits from your new husband, if those benefits are higher than the benefits you are receiving. It may be to your advantage to continue collecting under your deceased husband's benefits until you reach full retirement age. So, in most cases, you will not be able to receive survivors benefits if you remarry before the age of 60 unless the latter marriage ends (by death, divorce, or annulment). Basically, in the case that you remarry after you turn 60 (50 for disabled people), you would still be able to collect benefits on your former spouse's record. Upon reaching age 62, you may get retirement benefits on the record of your new spouse if they are older.

It is important to note that the remarriage would have no effect on the benefits being paid to your children. Also, keep in mind that if you were the working spouse during the course of your first marriage, your remarriage would not change the Social Security benefits paid to either your new spouse or ex-spouse. Social security benefits paid to a divorced spouse who is over sixty would not have any on benefit rates paid to any remaining survivors.
