Q. I get a survivor monthly check. My husband worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture for 50 years. He passed away three years ago. What would I get if I remarry?
A. Assuming that you are at least age 55, your survivor annuity would continue. If you were under age 55, your survivor annuity would end. It would only be restored if your new marriage ended with an annulment, divorce or the death of your new spouse.

I am on OWCP since 78, if I die will my wife get a check? If so that is good, but if she doesn’t get one is there anything I can do with OPM to make sure that she does?
Unless you applied for disability retirement within one year of the time you elected worker’s compensation, your wife wouldn’t be entitled to a CSRS survivor annuity.
