I expect this to be a short thread on this question.
I've tried looking this up at SS but get so confused; there's also all these ads/articles that claim how Congress has recently made radical changes to SS but I can't make heads or tails of it. Yes, I haven't had my first cup this morning, so....
Here's my question:
I've been receiving SS for two years. Took it at age 62.
DW is currently 57 and has an age 62 benefit for just about as much money as I get.
Our plan was to have her take the spousal benefit at 62 (half my benefit) and wait until her FRA of 67.
Now these articles keep showing up saying that might not be possible.
Is this strategy still viable?
