I am 50, my husband is 67 and he is fully retired. I have more than 40 quarters and he does not have enough quarters on his own. Is he eligible to claim spousal benefits now?

Hi. No. The soonest that your husband could qualify for spousal benefits is when you start drawing either Social Security retirement or disability (SSDI) benefits. The earliest that you could claim retirement benefits is at age 62, so the only way that your husband could get spousal benefits before then is if you become disabled and qualify for SSDI benefits.
