Nope.. your SS benefits remain the same. However, depending upon how long you are married, your spouse maybe entitled to additionals benefits. Also, any ex-spouse will be entitled to benefits based on longevity of marriage and time since separation.

Contact the SS office and they will be able to answer the question in detail. Also their website is full of information that answers just what you are asking.

Just 'Google' the key words 'Social Security' and find the offical site.

Hope this answers and good luck!
