My wife is 5 years older than me. If she starts taking her SS at her full age, it will be around $900/month.  When I retire and take SS at my full age, half of it will be around $1800/month.  Can my wife take her $900/month until I take mine and then get the increase to half of mine?  Thanks

    YES - she will have to file again for the spousal benefit once you retire at your FRA.

    Good Plan.
