We ask that Social Security be changed to give women equal status. We ask that we receive our full benefits, which we have paid into the Social Security system. Irregardless of marital status.
The Social Security system is discriminatory and prejudicial against women by denying them full benefits.
Women are denied their full benefits based on the income or benefits of a husband or male partner. Regardless of the fact that she may have earned more than her spouse or partner. It also forces the majority of married couples who receive Social Security benefits to live in poverty.
Married women are force to commit "legal bigamy" when separated from their spouse and living with a male partner. They are considered a "spouse in holding" and denied full benefits.
