Can My Wife Take Her Social Security Benefits At Age 62 Without Reducing Her Future Survivor Rate?
Dear Mr Kotlikoff:
I am 72 years old and my wife is 58. My social security is near the maximum possible (45,000/year). I want to be sure that when I die my wife will receive my full social security amount. Can she take social security on her record at 62 with out reducing her survivors benefit when I die or should she wait until her FRA?
