🏛️ Legal & Policy Inequities Facing Singles — What the Data (and Law) Reveal (part 3)
As one summary puts it: “Singles can’t claim spousal or survivor Social Security benefits … and often must solely fund their retirement.” https://t.co/LCBBRs2N6X

🏛️ In terms of retirement and inheritance, a married surviving spouse can often access survivor benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA). However, a single individual, even if in a long-term partnership, typically does not qualify. #SocialSecurity #Inheritance

🏛️ Under current federal rules (e.g., estate/gift tax: unlimited transfers exempt between spouses), married couples get clear advantages. But singles — even those in committed relationships — do not get those exemptions when transferring money or assets. https://t.co/XVULBDAKMo

➡️ What this tells us: Singles are not a fringe minority or “niche” demographic anymore. They are nearly half of adult Americans — and a massive, growing segment of the population. This alone should command social, economic, and policy attention.

That share has grown enormously over time: in 1960, there were only 6.9 million single-person households; by 2022 it was 38.1 million — more than a fivefold increase.

Today, more U.S. households are childless than the “traditional” married-with-kids household.

When you look at living arrangements: in 2023 there were ~ 39.7 million “one-person households,” i.e. people living alone, or about 29% of U.S. households.

As of 2022, about 132.3 million Americans age 15 and over were unmarried (never-married, divorced, or widowed).

That means nearly half of U.S. adults — about 49.3% — are unmarried.

What do you do when single adults, who represent 29% of all U.S. households, are not afforded the same benefits as married adults? You make noise!
