Or if you're not "legally" married to the man whom you state is your husband. Maybe, she needed the money to survive and "fibbed"." Yes, you can get Social Security whether or not you are a citizen. The self-employed got it in the late 1950s. My great-grandfather did not become a citizen (he was an alien resident) and was self-employed (apricot rancher). He got Social Security around 1956. -- Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, R. das Tainhas, Achada --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
