Then something smells fishy unless he straightened up in 1990 and started showing a real income and paying his SE taxes. How did you find out he is drawing SS? Are you absolutely sure he has a REAL marriage to the other woman or is it some kind of foreign documented online thing not sanctioned here? If that's the case, and he IS drawing off your bennies, I would turn turn him in.......... to the elders
A Social Security question...

He may be eligible if he waited to remarry after his 60th birthday.

Drewcoul is right about that. You can draw on your ex-spouse's SS even if you have remarried, as long as you waited till after age 60 to remarry.

He remarried at 61. My kids told me he started collecting SS a few months ago.

There you go then! He probably is drawing on yours. Are you 100% sure it won't affect your future benefits? I would double check that. -

If he was self-employed, he would have been required to pay FICA taxes. This would qualify him to draw SS, providing he reached the required number of credits. It wouldn't take very many years to have enough credits to qualify.

Hi Journey,
I talked to someone at SS. He can't touch my benefits if I am not collecting... and I'm not... can't for at least 4 years... 7 if I wait to 65. I was told that even if he does draw on my benefits, it won't effect the amount I will collect.

Snoozy
In her 20's that is funny!
He is either a stud or being useful for a price!..
Don't they get paid to marry someone so they can get a green card?
Course they always deny it.
Snoozy..Well I guess if you aren't remarried you can collect off his when you turn 62 and switch to get your full benefits at 65..how's that?
