The top pay out is $194 US per week. Much less than what you can get
here from SS. My wife has not worked for 50 years and gets more.

Whereabouts is "here" Ed?

I'm pleased for your wife, regardless!


In the US. Our Social Security payout is wage based to a maximum of
$2635 a month. You spouse can collect 50% of that even if she has not
worked enough to qualify for her own.

Thanks for the info.. Seems inordinately generous! ;-)
