Listing all would take up too much space here. You're best bet would be to talk to a spouse and ask the same question. I do know that the military helps out some military spouses wth tuition fees if the spouse wants to pursue a career oriented academic program. One of the online centres that partners with the miliary is CareerStep. Career Step's MyCAA funding can help you become proficient in a growing career field related to medicine or computers.

What has been the impact of DOMA?

The Defense of Marriage Act ("DOMA") prohibits federal recognition of same-sex marriage. As a result of DOMA, same-sex married couples pay more taxes because they must file as single. If an employer provides health coverage to a same-sex spouse, the worker must pay tax on that benefit. A same-sex spouse can be deported and cannot collect social security. Same-sex spouses are not eligible for benefits under ERISA or FMLA. The same-sex spouse of a member of the US Military does not get any healthcare or housing benefits. If the servicemember is killed in war, the spouse gets no benefits. Opposite-sex spouses can live on base and automatically get military ID cards. This is not true of same-sex spouses.

Can husband and wife both receive social security?

Yes. See the following excerpts from the Social Security website at the related link provided below:Spouse's benefits:A spouse who has not worked or who has low earnings can be entitled to as much as one-half of the retired worker's full benefit. If you are eligible for both your own retirement benefits and for benefits as a spouse, we always pay your own benefits first. If your benefits as a spouse are higher than your retirement benefits, you will get a combination of benefits equaling the higher spouse benefit.If you have reached your full retirement age, and are eligible for a spouse's or ex-spouse's benefit and your own retirement benefit, you may choose to receive only spouse's benefits and continue accruing delayed retirement credits on your own Social Security record. You may then file for benefits at a later date and receive a higher monthly benefit based on the effect of delayed retirement credits.If you are receiving a pension based on work where you did not pay Social Security taxes, your spouse's benefit may be reduced.Benefits for a divorced spouseYour divorced spouse can get benefits on your Social Security record if the marriage lasted at least 10 years.
