Hi,

You wouldn't be eligible for spousal benefits unless your wife's primary insurance amount (PIA), which is the amount that her Social Security retirement benefit would be if she'd started drawing at her full retirement age (FRA), is more than twice as much as your PIA. If your reduced age 62 benefit rate is $927 then your PIA is likely higher than $1200, so your wife's PIA would probably need to be more than $2400 in order for you to qualify for any spousal benefit while your wife is living.

If your wife started drawing her benefits at age 62 and her benefit rate is below roughly $1800, then it sounds like you probably wouldn't be eligible for any spousal benefits. The make sure, though, you may want to check with Social Security and possibly file an application for spousal benefits.

Best, Jerry
