No. The only benefit you’d lose is the caretaker benefit if you receive it. Children don’t lose their benefits
No they don’t, If you receive survivor benefits yours will end when you get married.
My husband passed and when I remarried my benefits stopped but my children’s continued until they turned 18 or out of high school. College doesn’t count, benefits end with high school. I lived in PA don’t know where you live though.

No you only lose your window’s pension in Virginia …kids draw till they are 18 yrs old
If you are on Social Security and draw off your deceased husband you dont lose it if you remarry
If you get something you may lose yourself but your children only would if they’re adopted. They should receive until 18 or until they graduate hs whichever comes last. I turned 18 before I graduated so I got my dad’s death benefits until may 7 months after I turned 18 because I graduated that month.

Only you will lose yours. Unless your new hubby adopts them they will keep getting theirs
Set an appointment with social security. In most cases they receive benefits from a deceased parent even if they are adopted.
NO, they keep full benefits. It doesn’t even matter if they are adopted by this man.
You will lose any check you receive, though. Their checks may increase when you get remarried, if you were getting a check. I only lost half of my check basically. The other half went into the children’s checks.
I live in Canada, get my husband’s CPP, got remarried and still get it. My kids got a one time payout. Best to check with SS
It has been 40 years, but my Dad remarried after my mother died and I received benefits from
Her account until I turned 18. I was not adopted by my new mother, so not sure if that makes a difference.

The kids will keep theirs, but you will lose yours
Your children won’t, as long as they aren’t being adopted. If being adopted by new husband then yes.
You however will lose any benefits if you have them.
I just went through this. My first husband passed when our daughters were 2 and 4, I received survivors benefits with them as his wife until I got remarried earlier this year. Mine went away but it got split between the two girls. So essentially the same amount is coming in but they both receive a little more whereas I don’t receive anything.
No their dad is still dead
