I see a lot of this in my line of work, but we call it a "check divorce" - that way both people can collect a disability check without the other's factoring into the amount of the check. You also see a lot of couples who have been engaged for a decade for the same reason. I can't imagine getting a divorce just to save a few bucks.
I haven't read past this yet but H's brother is in, I guess, this type of situation and it pisses me off to no end. Him and his gf live together but she doesn't work and gets all sorts of assistance for an "illness". She CHANGED HER FUCKING LAST NAME to ours but they won't get married so she can still receive whatever assistance she gets.
And I say "illness" because according to our nephews (BIL's from previous marriage) she is completely fine when they're behind closed doors. ::rage::
