Q & A
My husband and I are both 62. If I file and suspend when I turn 66, can my spouse, who is six months younger than me, draw spousal benefits then or does he have to wait six months until he turns 66?
Answer: Your spouse must wait until age 66, his full retirement age (FRA), before he can file a restricted claim for spousal benefits.
