[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1065270, member: 4362"] Boondocks, Spouse A did remarry but not long enough to reap the SS benefits of this person. Like you said, and as it was explained in the SS letter, the intent was to take care of the stay at home spouse who chose to be a homemaker and not a bread winner. I can understand this logic and think this is fair but what gets me is how and why is someone's social security benefit reduced by 100% if both worked in the private sector and only 66% if they worked for the government. This doesn't seem fair to me that either should be treated any different. Seems like there are two standards when we all should be treated equally. At least with this change it will cut down on some of the double dipping that's been going on.JMO What got A made with me was I suggested that they look on the bright side and see they are still coming out better than the average citizen even with the cut.
