My husband is 77 and I am 69. I took my social security benefits when I turned 65. I wish I had known about the various ways I could have piggybacked on my husband's social security. My payment is about 950 and my husbands is about 1600. Is there any way I could suspend my benefits now and wait until I am older so I would be paid more when I start getting my benefits again? Any information would be so welcome. Thank you.
Mary,
Yes, you can suspend receipt of your retirement benefit and earn a 2/3% increase for every month of suspension until age 70.
If you are currently paying Medicare Part B premiums out of your Social Security check you will need to make other payment arrangements.
Best,
