Her social security kicking in could be a reason for her ex husband to petition the court to modify alimony, particularly if he is also retired and living on a smaller income. However, it certainly won't automatically change.

Just out of curiousity****************************..how long where they married? Did the wife work during that time? What age did they divorce?
Sometimes these can be issues regarding duration of support.
But, unless there is a major change of circumstance, it looks like alimony for life.

These are ONLY considered during the determination of alimony. NOT for revision. There are specific situations in law that allow alimony to be revised. and ONLY on these basis.
