Multiple spouses

Dear Rusty: If a financially well-off individual had multiple ex-spouses, could it happen that the multiple ex-spouses could each be collecting Social Security based on their own financial situation as compared to their rich ex-spouses? Thus, multiple payouts by SS? Just curious, because there are probably many people in this situation as a result of the ever-increasing number of people involved in multiple marriages that each lasted more than ten years. Signed: Curious Ex-SpouseDear Curious Ex-Spouse: A former spouse can only collect one SS benefit – either their own SS retirement amount, or an amount as an ex-spouse if the marriage lasted 10 years or more. And it is possible for multiple ex-spouses of a marriage to the same person to qualify for benefits from those unions, if each marriage lasted at least 10 years. But each ex-spouse can only qualify for one benefit payment – either their own earned SS benefit, or their benefit as an ex-spouse. In other words, someone with two (or more) ex-spouses might have their ex’s collecting full benefits on their record, provided that each marriage lasted at least 10 years. But an ex-spouse can only get one benefit –their own SS retirement amount or an ex-spouse amount – whichever is higher).It’s possible, also, that an ex-spouse can collect benefits from a former spouse at the same time as a current spouse is also collecting spouse benefits on the same record. And there is no detriment to either’s amount because multiple spouses or ex-spouses are collecting on a one person’s SS record (Social Security is, after all, a means for spouses, or ex-spouses, to avoid poverty). However, an ex-spouse’s own SS retirement benefit (from their personal lifetime work record) must be less than any ex-spouse benefit they are entitled to from a former spouse. Essentially, if the “10-years-married” rule is satisfied, ex-spouses are subject to the same benefit rules as a current spouse.You are correct that we see some cases like this these days, but each eligible ex-spouse can only get one benefit, and their ex-spouse benefit is always offset by any personal SS retirement benefit the ex-spouse may also be entitled to on their own lifetime work record.

Last Updated on March 26, 2024 by TejaswiniIt is quite common to see people indulging in multiple marriages. A sequence of marriage, divorce, remarriage or multiple spouses together at the same time. A person can have a series of girlfriends/ boyfriends, then marriage one or several, perhaps extra-marital affairs, then divorces and re-marriages. So lets check out this complicated question of multiple spouses!First a bit on what is marriage. Marriage is karmic, the domain of the 7th house, these are the legal partnerships negotiated by Venus. Romance is more self-centric, the domain of the Sun, so the girlfriend/boyfriend is seen from the 5th house. For a relationship to be considered to be a marriage , there needs to be a legal alliance, a contract, an understanding and before a witness. This can be a traditional marriage, or a marriage in court, or (this is stretching it) if a child is born or even conceived/aborted without a formal marriage, then this child is considered as the witness to the marriage.You can also calculate the number of marriages through palmistry. See the edge of the palm of the dominant hand, right under the little finger/Kanishta, the space between the heart line and the base of the finger. Count the number of well defined horizontal lines, that is the possible number of spouses indicated in this life for you.For marriage, the first and foremost we will analyse Venus. He is the natural ruler of the 7th house of the zodiac, Libra. Wherever he may be located in the horoscope, Venus will have an influence on the marriage alliance. Generally Venus is considered to be the agent of ‘Wife’, but I have seen Venus indicating the ‘Husband’ too, thus I consider him to indicate ‘Spouse’ in general.If the Venus is within 15 degrees of any other grahas including Rahu/Ketu then he may grant multiple spouses. If Venus is with Rahu the spouse will be ambitious, interested in social mobility and breaking the rules. Moon with Venus will give an emotional, sensitive, maternal type of partner. A Venus alone will give a more balanced partner.If Jupiter is with Venus, then multiple spouses are almost certain, eg see a rich man having 3-4 wives, each wife in her own house and establishment.Even the headless graha Ketu with Venus can grant multiple partners, the narrative will be widowhood/ abandonment/ divorce/ separation and thus the multiple spouses.Venus with

From a decedent who no longer is considered the “last deceased spouse.” Thus, a spouse who has survived multiple spouses may use each last deceased spouse's DSUE amount before the death of that spouse's next spouse. However, a surviving spouse may not use the sum of the DSUE amounts of those deceased spouses at one time, and a surviving spouse may not use the remaining DSUE amount of a prior deceased spouse following the death of a subsequent spouse.Example 1. John dies on April 1, 2012, and his executor makes the portability election with his DSUE amount equaling $3 million. John’s wife, Taylor, marries Jake on July 4, 2012, and uses John’s DSUE amount to make taxable gifts of $3 million for the 2012 calendar year. Jake dies on May 4, 2013, and his executor makes the portability election with his DSUE amount equaling $2 million. Here, Taylor has a new DSUE amount to apply to her estate or to any taxable gifts she makes equal to $2 million because Jake is now her last deceased spouse and his executor made the portability election.Example 2. Same facts as Example 1 above, except Taylor does not use John’s $3 million DSUE amount after his death. Jake dies on May 4, 2013, and his executor makes the portability election with his DSUE amount equaling $2 million. Here, Taylor only has Jake’s $2 million DSUE amount to use when calculating her applicable exclusion amount. She has lost the $3 million from John’s portability election.This post discusses the effect of multiple spouses on determining a surviving spouse’s applicable exclusion amount. Future posts will discuss the applicability of the temporary portability regulations to more specific issues.Written with assistance from Allaya Lloyd.

HomeMyCAADEA Chapter 35Military BenefitsAboutReach OutThe Love Lives On Act of 2022 has been enacted, addressing comprehensive remarriage legislation for surviving spouses of military service members. This legislation grants surviving spouses the right to remarry at any age while retaining their benefits. Previously, many surviving spouses faced the difficult choice between remarriage and maintaining their benefits, often opting for cohabitation to avoid benefit loss, especially those with young children. Unlike survivors of first responders in the United States, who can remarry while retaining pensions and benefits, military surviving spouses were subject to restrictions.The Love Lives On Act, endorsed by nearly 30 Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs), has implemented several key provisions:Eliminating the age requirement of 55 for surviving spouses to retain benefits after remarriage.Ensuring remarried surviving spouses can access education benefits under the Fry Scholarship and Dependents Education Assistance (DEA).Preserving Commissary and Exchange benefits for remarried surviving spouses.Allowing surviving spouses to maintain both the Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP) and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) after remarriage at any age.Enabling remarried surviving spouses to reclaim TRICARE benefits if their remarriage ends due to divorce, annulment, or death.Removing the "Hold Themselves Out to Be Married" clause from 38 USC, Section 101, paragraph 3, which was viewed as potentially penalizing surviving spouses and jeopardizing their survivor benefits.The Love Lives On Act represents a significant step towards addressing the rights and well-being of surviving military spouses, as it removes barriers to remarriage while safeguarding essential benefits earned through the service and sacrifice of their spouses.This is a great change from the previous rules that required spouses to be at least 55 to remarry and retain benefits.
