Social Security benefits for spouse

By Terry Savage on September 17, 2024 | Wild Card

I thought that my spouse is supposed to get half of what I receive each month. But it is $300 less. What do you think? Thank You, Keith

That might depend on whether your spouse worked in a public service job and has a pension offset. I highly recommend you go to www.MaximizeMySocialSecurity.com to find the correct amount. Going through SS has a high probability of getting a wrong answer!
