No. Benefits do not stop when you get married. Also, you both continue to receive your check each month. In the event of death of one spouse, the surviving spouse will receive the greater of the two amounts for the rest of their life. For example, if a husband passes away and his social security income was higher than his wife each month, she will then receive a check for that amount instead.

Yes, but only under special circumstances. A widow or widower can collect survivors' benefits at age 60, as can an ex-spouse who was married to the deceased for at least ten years. It is also possible to receive Social Security disability (SSDI) compensation at this age, if you meet SSA qualifications.

The earliest a person can collect regular retirement benefits is age 62.

You can draw half of your spouse's entitlement if you wait to retire when you reach full retirement age (65 for people born before 1943; 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954) if your spouse is also retired.

Whether or not a woman can collect on her husbands social security depends on several factors. First, she has to be old enough or disabled. Second, she has to have been married long enough. Then, she must be widowed or divorced. Other rules may apply. As with everything involving the government, exceptions exist. You will need to see someone at the social security office. If you try to contact someone by phone, you will get a recorded message that someone will get back to you. One person has been waiting 20 years for his call to be returned. You can try the internet. You may or may not get satisfaction. If you visit a social security office, you will be able to get an appointment with a live human being.

In order to determine when social security is taxable, you first need to know your combined income. This is the adjusted gross income plus non-taxable interest plus half of your Social Security benefit, and as long as long is it is under $25,000, then it is not taxable.

According to the Social Security Administration: "If you were born January 2, 1943, through January 1, 1955, then your full retirement age for retirement insurance benefits is 66. If you work and are full retirement age or older, you may keep all of your benefits, no matter how much you earn. If you are younger than full retirement age, there is a limit to how much you can earn and still receive full Social Security benefits. If you are younger than full retirement age during all of 2009, we must deduct $1 from your benefits for each $2 you earned above $14,160. If you reach full retirement age during 2009, we must deduct $1 from your benefits for each $3 you earn above $37,680 until the month you reach full retirement age."

No, it will not affect your Social Security because unemployment has to do with loss of job benefits and the other was taxes deducted from your pay check for use in your retirement. You can even collect Social Security while you are working, if you wanted. However, collecting Social Security may affect your unemployment compensation (at least in Illinois, Louisiana, Utah, and Virginia). These states have an "offset law" whereby using a formula they reduce your unemployment by some amount adjusted because of the SS.

There is an income threshold for the VA non-service-connected disability pension. So, it depends upon how much you receive from Social Security whether you would be eligible for any amount of the disability pension. The income threshold was/is $10,929.00, but should be increasing in December 2007. Check out the va.gov website for more info.

That depends on your circumstances.

Generally, you can take early retirement at age 62 under your own earnings record, but you would only collect 75% of the benefit you'd receive by waiting until full retirement age (65 for people born before 1943; 66 for people born between 1943 and 1954). If you haven't earned enough work credits on your own, you may begin drawing against your spouse's earning record (if applicable) when he retires, provided you are at least 62.

An ex-spouse may draw against a spouse's earning record at age 62 if your marriage lasted at least ten years and you are unmarried (to anyone) at the time you file your application.

Widows and widowers may draw survivors' retirement benefits as early as age 60, if they haven't remarried before that age, or at age 50, if disabled. Ex-spouses are also entitled to benefits under circumstances similar to those described above.

A widow, widower or ex-spouse may draw survivor benefits at any age if caring for the deceased spouse's dependent minor children who are under age 16. Each child would also be eligible for a separate benefit.

You may collect Social Security disability benefits at any age if the Social Security Administration determines you are too impaired to work, but you must have earned enough work credits and have paid into the fund recently enough to qualify. You may be able to collect disability against a spouse's earnings record in place of, or in addition to your own, up to 50% of your qualified spouse's benefit.

The rules and scenarios are complex and can't be summarized adequately in this forum. Additionally, each individual's circumstances are unique and must be addressed according to information only you and the government can access.

If you believe you may be entitled to collect Social Security benefits, call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213 to speak with a representative.

SSNs are broken up as such: AAA-GG-SSSS the first three numbers are geographical area of registrants zip code at the time of application, (since 1973 before that it was the number of the regional office issuing the card.) The second two numbers are the group code issued out in the following order as each group fills out the "Serial" section which is the last 4 digits, Odd numbers 01-09, Even 10-98, Even 02-08, Odd 11-99. No group can have all zeros. And of course as stated before the last four digits are the Serial section issued in order, 0001-9999 within that group and area.

All of them since it was introduced. (Note: it's not really the President who does this, except in the sense that the President can technically veto a budget bill that does so. However, ultimately Congress has to get money for running the country from SOMEWHERE, and if the president doesn't pass the budget bills, the government shuts down, which is usually regarded as a bad thing.)

When Social Security was started, it generated a great deal of income for the federal government with relatively low expenditures. It was realized that ... since it's essentially a legal-by-explicit-legislation Ponzi scheme ... eventually there would come a point when expenditures might match or exceed income, but in the meantime, the government basically said "we need more money to run the country than we're bringing in through income taxes; we COULD raise taxes, but then we wouldn't get re-elected, we COULD borrow money (through issuing bonds), but then we'd have to pay it back with interest on a definite schedule ... and then there's this WHOLE PILE of money coming in from Social Security and we're not gonna need it for DECADES at least, let's just borrow it from that pile and we'll put it back when we actually have to".

The general rule of thumb is no, SSDI or SSI are not taxable provided they are the only source of income for an individual or family, however if an individual or family receives income from other sources (private work pensions, part time work, etc.) they may have a tax liability for a portion of the benefits received. In these circumstances it is best to consult a tax attorney preferably one who deals with these issues on a somewhat regular basis.

There is no US law requiring social security numbers to get a credit card. Banks do it out of convenience so they don't have to obtain extra information to give you a card. You can read more about this at CampusCapitalNetwork.com and sign up for a card without Social Security Number if you want. Some Stanford graduates noticed this problem and decided to do something about it.

Someday I will grow old and be unable to work any longer. I would like to know the projected benefits I will receive from Social Security. Where online can I get a copy of the Social Security Benefits Worksheet?

Absolutely! Congratulations, you old double dipper.

There are a few requirements for qualifying for Social Security Disability Insurance. The first, you must be insured. That generally means you must have worked and paid into the program (payroll taxes) for five of the last 10 years. You must also have been disabled before reaching full-retirement age (65-67). Your full retirement age varies depending on your birth date. Finally, you must meet Social Security's definition of disability.

You have to be someone that is at least 62.

can the state of maryland garnish my government disability check for back taxes owed the state of maryland ?no they cannot, u.s.gov. disability or social security cannot be garnished, Except for child support and Federal TAXES.

Doubtful that condition would be in the divorce agreement. Check out the language regarding the alimony. For instance, there may be a time limit or, if your remarry it stops. To me, it would be unusual to include disability as a condition.
