talk with the ssn (ssi people) about that. every state is different but my state can get fileing seperatly, seprate incomes, and (if you husband is below a certain dollar point per month) joint acounts. there is more but like i said... different state has different rules.

I I was working a job that didn’t benefit insurance, my family and I would go to the County Office and apply for State MA ( Medical assistant insurance ) .
We would even check to see if we qualify for Food Stamp or Food Assistance.

that never came to my mine when started in 1977 working for GM as it started that day for me and wife as now retired and will always remain getting it thanks to UAW

Thank you John 😊

That sounds great
Glad to here you made a sound decision in this matter.
Have a blessed day
