Is It True That I Can Only Apply For My Benefits At My Local Office?
I filed a restricted application for a spousal benefit only back in 2017 when I turned FRA 66. I filed at my local social security office. I have been receiving 50% of my spouses social security amount. I am turning 70 and I have been told on the social security national 800 # that since I filed the spousal at the local office I can only file on my own record at 70 at the local office & cannot file on the national 800 #. Is that true & why is that? Thank You
