Accepted Answer

Hello XXXXXXXXXX XXX,

 

Being separated has no legal bearing on the conditions of your marriage. In other words, if a retirement account has the spouse has beneficiary, that will not change because of a separation. Social security is the same way. What a spouse is entitled to, will remain the same, whether separated or not. Divorce changes things, but not separation.
