Will getting married affect my Social Security benefits?

If I get married, will it affect my benefits? If you get Social Security disability or retirement benefits and you marry, your benefit will stay the same. However, other benefits such as SSI, Survivors, Divorced Spouses, and Child’s benefits may be affected.

Can I get Social Security benefits as a spouse?

Social Security benefits are a crucial part of the retirement income for millions of Americans. If you don’t have enough Social Security credits to get benefits on your own work record or your own benefit is small, you may be able to receive benefits as a spouse. Your spouse must be receiving benefits for you to get benefits on their work record.

How does Social Security spousal benefit work?

If you start receiving payments at full retirement age or older, your spousal benefit will be half of your spouse’s primary insurance benefit. Social Security spousal benefits allow spouses to claim benefits based on their partner's earnings record.
