I retired at 100% SS benefits. My wife is presently 62 and 2 months. Can she begin to collect half of my social security check now?

No if you are alive she can only collect her SS. At 62 she can collect about ¾’s of her benefits.

@TropicalWillie I believe you are wrong. See the following link

I was able to start collecting ½ of my Ex’s SS but I had to wait until full retirement age of 66. The rules were just changing after I applied, Here are the current rules and it sounds like she can apply but may not be able to switch to her own SS later..

Your best bet is to make an appointment at your local Social Security Office and discuss your options with them. I found them very helpful when I went in.

No. You have to die first.

I began drawing SS a few months back, and my wife began receiving substantially more. I’m going to say yes.
