Can My Wife Qualify For Spousal Benefits Before I'm Eligible For Benefits?
My wife is 9 years older than me and of course will qualify for social security before me. Is there any way she can receive a spousal benefit even though I am still working and not eligible to file for social security benefits?
Hi,
No, you must be drawing either retirement or disability benefits in order for your wife to be potentially eligible for spousal benefits.
Best, Jerry
