Yes, a wife can claim half of her husband's Social Security benefits if she is at least 62 years old and her husband is eligible for Social Security benefits. This spousal benefit allows her to receive up to 50% of her husband's benefit amount, provided that he has filed for his benefits. However, the amount she receives may be reduced if she claims before her full retirement age. It's important for both spouses to consider their individual retirement strategies when making claims.
