Sec. 410.211  Duration of entitlement; widow or surviving divorced wife.

    (a) An individual is entitled to benefits as a widow, or as a 
surviving divorced wife, for each month beginning with the first month 
in which all of the conditions of entitlement prescribed in Sec. 
410.210 are satisfied. If such individual remarries, payment of benefits 
ends with the month before the month of remarriage (see paragraph (b) of 
this section). Should the remarriage subsequently end, payment of 
benefits may be resumed beginning with the month after December 1973 in 
which the remarriage ends if the Social Security Administration receives 
notice in writing within 3 months of the end of such remarriage or 
within 3 months of February 3, 1976, whichever is later. Where such 
notice is not provided within the prescribed time period, resumption of 
payment will begin with the month the individual provides such notice to 
the Social Security Administration.
    (b) The last month for which such individual is entitled to such 
benefit is the month before the month in which either of the following 
events first occurs:
    (1) The widow or surviving divorced wife dies; or
    (2) Where the individual has qualified as the widow of a miner under 
Sec. 410.320 (d), she ceases to so qualify, as provided therein.
    (c) Although payment of benefits to a widow or surviving divorced 
wife ends with the month before the month in which she marries (see 
paragraph (a) of this section), her entitlement is not terminated by 
such marriage. However, but solely for purposes of entitlement of a 
child under Sec. 410.212(b), a widow is deemed not entitled to benefits 
in months for which she is not paid benefits because she is married.
