Effect of marriage on benefits
You'll want to consult with the SSA to confirm for you case. You don't specify what type of benefits you're receiving, but here is what will happen generally.
Disabled widow's or widower's benefits (including disabled divorced widow's and widower's benefits)
If your benefits are stopped because of marriage or remarriage, they may be started again if the marriage ends.
