Specially if you get divorced?
Can you start collecting before the working spouse? |

| If you’re married at least 10 years, you collect just as if you are married. You can collect when you reach your federal retirement age even if that’s b4 spouse. You would collect theirs only if it’s more than 50% of yours. |
