The Social Security Restricted Application

Tom Hager explains the goals of the restricted application: maximize the high earner benefit, coordinate the benefits between the spouses, and maximize the survivor benefits.  To take advantage of the restricted application one must have been born before January 2, 1954 and reached full retirement age.  General guidelines include these: Spouse #1 needs to be receiving their worker benefit in order for Spouse #2 to be collecting a spousal benefit.
