If you qualify and apply for your own retirement benefits and for benefits as a spouse , we always pay your own benefits first .
Excellent to clarify why a friend is going through that and I am worried that the wife will take everything from him. Does it matter how early or late I get my retirement benefits?
No matter what your full retirement age is you may start receiving your benefits as early as age 62 or as late as age 70.
What happens if I delay my benefits until after full retirement age?
