A percentage is paid into spousal fund if married, the box you check single, married, seperated, divorced is used to decide this contribution. You can call the SS office and ask them to send you an information booklet that covers all this and it's free.

It is my understanding that if you have been married to someone for at least 10 years, you can draw social security benefits. This is also true for divorced spouses. Check with a social security office for the particulars.

Welcome to the world of US Politics and Money management, in the carnivals they used to call it the shell game. The best example of this is found in our Congress. These upstanding citizens are paid quite well ( should be they control their wages) and have the added benefits of not paying SS , but wait it gets better, are you ready for this when they leave the Congress (either voted out, die or retire) they receive their full salary for the rest of their life and(here is the part we all can appreciate) that is paid out of SS.

Yes, if they are old enough. What they draw will be based on what their spouse's social security payment is.
