Question

Moving from my Soc Sec benefit to Spousal benefit

I started claiming my soc sec benefit at 62 in 2025.  My husband will start claiming his benefit in January 2027.  How do I now get the spousal benefit which will be higher than my current benefit?  Is there a form I need to send to the SSA?

Hi Joe ​@JoeK101952 , try contacting your Local Office Of Aging. They have "helped" me with questions about MY Social Security.

Take care,

Nicole!
