Do not have enough credits to draw. Wishing to draw from husband. What is the max I can make on retirement to qualify for spouse social security?
Thank you for your time.

My wife is 55. I’m on Social Security. When can she get Spousal Social Security?

Hi. Unless your wife has a child in her care who is eligible for benefits on your account, the earliest that she could possibly qualify for spousal benefits is when she's age 62 (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.03/handbook-0305.html).

Best, Jerry

I was married for 30 years and my husband away in 2015. I remarried on 2021. Can I get my current husband’s social security amount after a period of time?

I have started the process to apply for Spousal Social Security. I will be 62 in November. I've read that if I'm caring for a disabled child I can apply at any age. Is that correct? I'm being told now that my benefits will be reduced and probably eliminated because of my provincial pension I receive here in Canada. Just looking for some clarification. Thanks

If I am 19 years older than my husband he is 31 and I am 50 at this time when I reach the age to draw social security can I draw from my husbands social security??

Another question is …..
If I was married over 8 years and I bear a child with my ex husband and that child is now 29 can I draw from his social security ??

My wife turned 62 this year and started taking SS benefits, about $800/month. I'm 55 so I won't be taking benefits for at least another 7 years (although I am retired, lucky me, so no wage income). Can (and should) she file for spousal benefits? My FRA benefit is currently calculated at about $3,000/month so even if she only gets the difference between her benefit and 50% of mine, that's still an extra $700/month she could be getting, if I understand spousal benefits which is a big if. Or is she only eligible for spousal benefits AFTER I start drawing my own SS benefits?

I started drawing Social Security at 62. My husband is planning to retire at 66. Will I get his ss when he retires and not mine?

My wife currently collects a small disability benefit from Social Security. Once I start collecting at FRA, can she file to collect a larger benefit based on my larger earnings record? She is 7 years younger than me, so what age should she wait until?

Larry hello. My question is this. I have heard that you can draw half of your spouses Social security before you reach full retirement age. Is that true.
And if I am on disability right now and I just turned 62. Can I do that. I was also made to understand that it's only until you reach Full retirement age then you have to choose and most people choose the higher of the two benefit amounts.
Thank you. I cannot tell you how much I admire and appreciate what your doing. Trying to get some straight answers from Social Security

I will be filing for SSI to commence at my FRA (66 and 2 months). my wife who is older has been collecting a small SSI of her own for 5 years. I want her to now collect the spousal benefit which will be higher. What does she, or I, need to do to make this happen. i.e. does she need to file for it or will it happen automatically
