How Social Security Helps Married People More Than Singles

Social Security is designed so that married people have a big advantage that never-married people do not have: They can collect benefits based on their own earnings or up to half of the earnings of their spouse, whichever is higher.

Trump administration lawsuit claims R.I. is discriminating against white teachers

Filed Tuesday, the complaint accuses the Rhode Island Department of Education and the state-run Providence Public School District of "blatant race discrimination." The lawsuit specifically takes aim at the "Educators of Color Loan Forgiveness Program," which offers up to $25,000 in student debt repayments for new teachers in Providence. "The catch: white teachers are not eligible," the complaint notes. With a student body that is more than 90% non-white, Providence has long sought to recruit more teachers of color.
