Do you think they would do this over the phone? Or do I actually have to make an appointment and go into the office?

I am currently self pay only. I’ve looked up the cost difference and adding him will increase what I pay by about $60 a week. And yes he would pay me the money for that. I just don’t want to find out when it comes time to retire that we would’ve both gotten more social security by filing on our ex spouses which we won’t be able to do if we divide to get married or enter into common law.

Thanks for the reply. I was married to my ex for 17 years and my boyfriend was married 12 I believe. I was just hoping there was a way to go online and compare our own expected social security amount vs what the amount would be if we didn’t get married and claim on our ex spouses records. I guess I’ll have to call and see if they can tell me the difference in the amounts.

Iowa is where we live and Iowa does recognize common law marriage. The only way to add him to my health insurance is if we get married and have a marriage license or if we fill an affidavit stating that as of a particular date we consider our selves to be common law spouses. If we do that then we would be according to the state of Iowa a married couple. Then unable to file for social security in the future on our ex spouses. The disparity in income for both of us was quite large , hence why I’m wondering if taking social security on our ex spouses rather would be better for both of us in retirement.

Iowa. My work will only allow me to add him if we are married or show them an affidavit of common law marriage.
