[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m only annoyed that SAHMs will get social security from their husbands income plus their husbands will get their own social security. Nothing else bothers me about it. I love my children and am an attentive and loving mother but I wouldn’t be a good sahm. [/quote]

You do realize some of us worked 15+ years before becoming SAHP's so we earned our own social security and have fully paid in to be vested.  I started working/early credits as an early teen so by the time I was a SAHP in my mid-30's I paid in plenty.  Why do you resent it?  You could do the same thing.[/quote]

Working 40 quarters =/= "fully paid in"

But it's cute that you think it is.

It's also clear that the PP was talking about the spousal benefit, not a SAHP who had accumulated enough working quarters to be vested.

What do you consider fully vested, if not 40 quarters? That's the threshold the SSA uses, so it seems the most relevant here. And I agree with PP that the vast majority of SAHPs meet it over the course of their working years. Exceptions might be those who work in the public sector for some part of their careers and thus aren't paying into SS, but that's a separate situation even for those who don't SAH. And I'm sure there are some in the upper echelons of society who don't work at all, but again--those are the outliers. [/quote]
