You can collect Social Security on a spouse’s earnings record. You may be able to do this in the form of spousal benefits, or as survivor benefits if you are a widow or widower. Depending on your age upon claiming, spousal benefits can be as hight as 50 percent of your husband’s or wife’s primary insurance amount. Regardless of the amount of the spousal benefit, it does not affect the amount of your significant other retirement payment.

Qualifying for spousal Social Security benefits is a great way to supplement your retirement income. In order to qualify, you must meet certain criteria set by the Social Security Administration (SSA).

To qualify for spousal Social Security benefits, you must be either the spouse of a retired worker or the widow or widower of a deceased worker. You must also be at least 62 years old, have been married to your spouse for at least 10 years, and be currently unmarried.

In addition, you must have earned less than your spouse in wages. This means that your average wages over your working life must have been less than your spouse’s average wages. If you have earned more than your spouse, you may still qualify for spousal benefits if your spouse has already claimed Social Security benefits.

In order to receive spousal Social Security benefits, you must apply for them. You can apply online at the SSA website or you can call the SSA at 1-800-772-1213. When you apply, you will need to provide proof of your marriage, your spouse’s Social Security number, and your own Social Security number.

Once you have applied for spousal Social Security benefits, the SSA will review your application and determine if you are eligible. If you qualify, you will begin receiving benefits as soon as your spouse begins receiving benefits.

Spousal Social Security benefits can be a great way to supplement your retirement income. However, it is important to understand the criteria for eligibility and to apply for benefits as soon as possible. By doing so, you can ensure that you are receiving all the benefits you are eligible for.
