I want to draw on my ex, we were married for 16 yrs he is a multi millionaire. He chose not to draw till age 70 which is May 19, 1943 this we are sure. Can you give me an approximate I could draw ? I know he paid the max. I am disable and I only get 285 now.

What i cant understand is how medicare can take out from ssi payment of say $115 month when someone is earning only $643. Does state even think about that?

"Social Security benefits are calculated based on your 35 highest-earning years in the workforce, and are adjusted for inflation."
Effectively your career ? 35 highest earning years, that's pretty much all of a 20-65 working career factoring in the unemployment that many will face. Some people won't be able to work much beyond 50 if the stats are right and that's regardless of whether you have to or not.
