Thanks, i just wanted to be sure. Oh, and how much will my spouse receive, given my benefit is higher, please?
If you have a higher benefit, your spouse will get an extra amount on your record. In that way. the combination of benefits equals that higher amount.
I see, i see, interesting thing. A last question, please. What happens if my spouse begin to receive benefits? There will be some effect?
Well, the immediate effect would be that the benefit amount will be permanently reduced by a percentage based on the number of months up to her full retirement age. That applies if she begins to receive benefits between age 62 and her full retirement age.
