Hi,

Your wife would have to have filed an application for SSI (Supplemental Security Income) in order to be eligible for SSI payments. She can withdraw her application, but she would then have to repay any SSI payments that she's received (https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0500601050).

Your wife would only be eligible for Social Security benefits if she meets all of the requirements for entitlement. I don't have enough information about her to know if she would qualify.

Best, Jerry
