Ok. If that's the case and your spouse qualify by own record, we'll pay that amount first, and then the other ones.
And another question, please. Will those spouse benefits decrease my own retirement benefits?
Not at all. I can tell you, that you could find the amount your spouse will receive very useful, because it could help you to decide if you want to take your benefits earlier.
Umm, that sounds tempting, i'll have to think about it. Wanna check something, please. You said before that if my spouse gets qualified on its own record, you would pay that amount first, isn't?
