If I File for Spouse's Benefits at My FRA, Can I File for My Retirement Benefit at Any Time Before Age 70?
I have spent hours trying to find an answer to this question, please help I need to decide soon!
If I file for spousal benefits at FRA but later find I need more money can I file for my own benefits at any time before age 70 or must I wait until age 70?
Lynn,
Yes, you can file for your retirement benefit at any time before age 70.
Best,
Mike
