This depends on the survivor's age, see the link to SSA:

 

https://www.ssa.gov/planners/survivors/ifyou.html  

 

Midway down the page, you will see, " If you remarry after you reach age 60 (age 50 if disabled), your remarriage will not affect your eligibility for survivors benefits. "

Listmate,

 

Client, a widow receiving a survivor’s Social Security benefit, wants to remarry.  Would remarriage terminate that benefit?  Would they be better off doing a Registered Domestic Partnership?
