An Explanation of Spousal Benefits
Social Security’s spousal benefit provisions, and the rules that govern them, can be confusing at times. That may be an understatement of sorts, so it’s important that anyone aging into the program clearly understand what they’re entitled to. Likewise, if you’re already drawing benefits, it’s important to know if the amount you’re receiving is the most you are eligible for. Again, it can be confusing.
