When the wife earns more Social Security rules apply
A reader asks about spousal benefits in a couple where the wife has higher lifetime earnings. The answer explains that a stay at home husband can receive benefits on his wife’s record after she retires, with a 50 percent share if he’s past his full retirement age, and a possible personal record benefit after ten years of work. The scenario also covers remarriage and ex-spouse eligibility at age 72.
