I have sent back as return to sender in bug letters with the words NOT AT THIS ADDRESS FOR 30 + YEARS. They have to pay for the return, & as stated I have sent them all back as of late. It's going on almost 2 years now & every day I get at least 1-or-2 letters for her. I don't think they get the hint.   It starting to make me mad as this is my money they are wasting to send these letters to my house & not hers.  |
You get that stuff because either she is drawing Social Security on your number or you are drawing it on hers. If you were married more than 10 years and neither of you are deceased then the person who made less in the HH can draw off of the more well off spouses SS#. It doesn't actually take money out of your pocket and is roughly 1/2 the amount that you get...
Same thing go's for if you were married and your spouse passed away.
