Social Security Spousal Benefits Are Also Unclear
If you’ve worked at a job covered by Social Security, you will receive Social Security benefits, as will your spouse. Shockingly, a large number of people believe that they will receive benefits no matter where they worked, unaware that some jobs are not covered.
Individuals who did not pay taxes, certain government employees, and self-employed individuals, are not eligible for Social Security. If you have not accrued the requisite 40 credits needed for Social Security, then you are also ineligible.
If you or your spouse do not fall under any of these categories then, rest assured, both of you will receive your Social Security benefits.
