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.
