Hi,

It sounds like the child would qualify for child's benefits on your record, and your wife could potentially qualify for child-in-care spousal benefits as well. The benefit rate for such auxiliary benefits is 50% of the worker's full retirement age rate (PIA), but would be subject to a maximum family payment (https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/familymax.html). For more information on family benefits, refer to Social Security's website: https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/applying7.html.

Best, Jerry
