How long do you have to be married for a person to collect social security benefits? At least 10 years, you can't be remarried, you have to be at least 62, and your ex-spouse must be eligible for social security benefits.Does my ex-spouse getting social security benefits reduce my benefits? No.
Can I re-marry and still get my ex-spouse's social security benefits? No.
