Not a bad deal, a nice 6.5% effective pay increase and still benefits.
Does the pensioner also get SS money, or only the spouse of the non-paying pensioner?

I don't understand your post. If a worker receives $2,000 per month in SS income, his/her spouse receives $1,000 per month, and when the worker dies, the spouse receives $2,000 per month. The spouse doesn't need to contribute anything into the SS system to be eligible for this benefit.
