And what about my spouse getting qualify by her own? How that affects the amount?
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.
