If you only receive spousal benefits. I know you get half of spouses benefit. My confusion is about if spouse takes his ss at 70, do I get half of that amount (say it is 2800) or is it only half of what he would of received at age 66 FRA(say it is 2000). Is my spousal benefit when I turn 66 1000 or if I wait until age 70 to collect the spousal benefit would I then get 1400
I know about the the apply and suspend. So if my max is only half of the FRA he would apply and suspend when he is 66 then I would claim at my FRA of 66. I have been reading up on it and am still confused. My conclusion is that I can only get the FRA benefit of 1000.
Thanks in advance for anyone that knows
