Social Security question -
When my wife and I collect social security, will both my wife and I collect the same amount individually as both our ages and salary are identical or do we receive a reduced amount since we are married?
---A neighbor, (not sure if he was kidding) indicated that before he and his wife collect social security, they are going to divorce but still live together as a family in order to increase their social security benefits.--
THANKS

1) Their age at retirement is VERY important in answering your question.
2) I understand we want to discuss these issues here but the real answer will come directly from your neighbor. Ask him how so? Tell your neighbor you studied the guidelines but couldn't come up with the answer. Maybe he'll spill the beans? Good Luck. He has the answer.
SS in Leesburg is great. They may have moved. I'm running out the door now so check it out well before you go.
