If a surviving spouse remarries while receiving the pension, the spouse generally loses pension rights, with some exceptions and related benefits for minor children or supported parents.

§1321. Surviving spouse remarrying; forfeiture of pension; employees hired on or before December 31, 2010 A.(1) This Section shall apply to the surviving spouse of any member whose first employment making him eligible for membership in one of the state systems occurred on or before December 31, 2010. If the surviving spouse of a deceased employee remarries while receiving the surviving spouse's pension under the provisions of this Chapter, such spouse thereupon forfeits all rights to the spouse's pension, except as provided in R.S. 11:234. (2)(a) If there are minor children of a deceased employee whose surviving spouse remarries while receiving the surviving spouse's pension, such minor children shall be paid a pension equal to the greater of: (i) The benefit that the surviving spouse was receiving at the time of remarriage; or (ii) A pension payable in the manner provided in R.S. 11:1317. (b) As each minor child attains age eighteen, or age twenty-three if a student, he shall receive no further benefits payable pursuant to this Paragraph. (3) If there are no minor children of a deceased employee whose spouse remarries while receiving the surviving spouse's pension, the parent or parents of the deceased employee who derived their main support from such deceased employee shall receive the pension provided for them under the provisions of R.S. 11:1319. B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection A of this Section and any other provision of law to the contrary, a surviving spouse who remarries after November 1, 1991, and who was at least fifty-five years of age at the time of the remarriage, may, after making written application not later than January 1, 2000, to the retirement system, resume drawing survivor benefits as provided in R.S. 11:1316 or R.S. 11:1320, whichever is appropriate, following a court-approved dissolution of the marriage.
