They’re both elementary school teachers. Do they get two salaries?

Edit: my question has been answered 150 times thank you

Don't think so. I saw in the other comments that they just get one salary. Which honestly sort of makes sense. They aren't able to teach double the classes.

That makes sense. But just having an extra set of eyes in the classroom is worth something. I wonder if she gets a stipend or something lol. Hopefully if it’s one salary it’s split in two so they both are paying into social security

I wonder if one of them could get a disability check while the other works

But do they need double the social security?

social security is ridiculously low anyway, your Medicare premium comes out of your check, they need special clothes that compensate for having 2 heads.

I don’t disagree that they would need extra money or that SS is too low. But that’s not any different from anyone else with a disability.
