Question on marriage and benefits
I am not currently married. We’ve been together for 25 years and I call her my wife but legally we are single
She is a lower earner. I max out almost every year . She will definitely outlive me. I know my kids may be eligible for benefits but being together for 25 years, she wouldn’t, right?
If we married now and I passed away in a few months or a year would she be able to draw from my record?
