A spouse receives one-half of the retired worker's full benefit unless the spouse begins collecting benefits before full retirement age. In that case, the amount of the spouse's benefit is reduced by a percentage based on the number of months before he/she reaches full retirement age.For example, based on the full retirement age of 66, if a spouse begins collecting benefits:At 65, the benefit amount would be about 46 percent of the retired worker's full benefit;At age 64, it would be about 42 percent;At age 63, 37.5 percent; andAt age 62, 35 percent.However, if a spouse is taking care of a child who is either under age 16 or disabled and receiving Social Security benefits, a spouse gets full (one-half) benefits, regardless of age.If you are eligible for both your own retirement benefit and for benefits as a spouse, we always pay your own benefit first.
