No your social security benefits payments will be issued to you monthly. Unless you happen to qualify for some back payments then you could receive a lump sum to bring you up to the year that you started receiving your SSB amounts.
The biggest argument in favor of keeping Social Security is that since 1935 all workers in the U.S. have been funding Social Security through the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes that are deducted from their pay with the promise that some day it will be their turn to collect payments, which will be funded by the FICA taxes collected from the next generation. The reason Social Security is failing is that in 1935 they did not anticipate that the ratio of retirement-age people to working-age people would increase as much as it has.
Yes, sad but true. But only if they are approved for social security payments. I believe that even those in jail are allowed to collect. I am going to check further but I think I am correct. Did you know that even the president etal are entitled to collect, and many do, once they reach the correct age.

Yes, if you meet eligibility requirements for both programs. New York repealed the Social Security offset regulations that reduced unemployment compensation for people who were claiming both benefits. Both Social Security and the State of New York allow workers to collect unemployment and Social Security at the same time without applying a penalty to either check.
Yes, you can. Many people do. Remember you will also owe US state and federal taxes.
No. Once you're divorced the SS treats you as two separate people.
The problem that many people see is that as the Baby Boom generation retires, social security costs are going to become so high that the system may not be adequately funded by the payments made by the existing work force.
