What is the maximum benefits my family can receive?
There is a limit to the amount that is paid to family members. The total depends on your spouse's benefit amount and the number of family members who also qualify on the same record. The total varies but generally the total amount you and your family can receive is about 150 to 180 percent of your full retirement benefit.
As the main applicant for retirement benefits how much will I receive?
Benefits paid to your spouse will not decrease your retirement benefits.
