Hi. Your wife might be able to qualify for spousal benefits assuming that you're drawing either Social Security retirement or disability benefits, but only if she's at least age 62 or if she has a child in her care who qualifies for benefits on your account and who's either under age 16 or disabled. The full requirements to qualify for spousal benefits are outlined in the following section of Social Security's handbook: https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.03/handbook-0305.html.
Best, Jerry
