Social Security must recognize common law marriage if the state you live in does. In addition, if you are now living in a state that does not have common law marriage (such as California) but previously resided in a state that does recognize common law marriage and in that state your relationship qualified as a common law marriage, the Social Security Administration will (for S.S.I. and S.S. benefits determination) follow the determination of the state that does call your relationship a common law marriage- even if you now reside in a state that doesn't recognize common law marriage.
