There's a story out there that says for a spouse to receive spousal social security benefits, he/she must provide a certified copy of the marriage certificate.

So, is that true? Does that mean the "end" of common law marriages?

Nope, google it. The SSA still recognizes common law marriages and the requirements for "proving" a common law marriage are about as lax as requirements to prove one's citizenship when voting in federal elections.
