Social Security Retirement Benefit Questions Answered
A reader asks about reduced Social Security at 62 and effects on a wife with three years younger and no work history. The answer: wife taking benefits at 62 gets 75 percent of what she would at 65, and a man who retires at 62 who does not work keeps the reduced benefit for life unless he returns to work, which can raise his benefit at 65.
