This from the Journal of Financial Planning
Understanding Unusual Social Security Claiming Strategies
It talks about two strategies - claim & suspend, and claim now & claim more later. Both apply to married couple. The first is more appropriate when one spouse earned little compared to the other. The second is appropriate for couples who earn similar amounts.
I haven't read it in detail since SS is way in the future for me. But hope it helps those who are making these decisions today.
