Can I Suspend My SS At FRA And Claim Spousal Benefits?

Can I suspend my ss at FRA and claim on spouses FRA ss At 50%?



Hi. No. If you suspend your own benefits, you cannot be paid any other type of Social Security benefits while your own benefits are suspended (https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/retirement/planner/suspend.html).
