OK ...so I am generally confused ...best thing to do I have found over the years when dealing with general confusion is to get specific to the circumstance ...
Facts:
1. 180 days after the 2 Nov 15 presidential signature, is on/about 2 May 16
2. I am 62 on 3 Mar 16 (inside the 180 days)
3. My wife is 62 on 27 May 16 (outside the 180 days)
4. My earnings history is substantially greater than hers (she's been working waaaaay hard, just not getting paid)
5. Both our early retirement benefits occur at 62
6. Both our full benefits occur at age 66
Questions:
1. I make the 180 day cutoff, does she have to since I am the largest earner?
2. If my earnings history is so much more than hers, is our circumstance appropriate for the F and S? (the core question)
3. Since our FRA is 66 does F and S work at 62 in our circumstances?
Thanks!
