Benefits will be based upon your spouse's primary coverage amount
If your spouse is high-earning, you may get a larger benefit than your spouse. This is due to your spouse having the highest primary insurance amount. The amount of your spouse's benefit will depend on her or his age and work experience. However, if the worker has a lower earning history, your spousal supplement may be more than half of what the worker receives.
They are reduced by 50% if you start payments at full retirement age or older
The Social Security benefit for spouses is reduced by 50 percent if you begin collecting benefits before you reach full retirement age. This reduction only applies if you are married or have worked for at least ten year. You can still collect benefits if you begin collecting before your full retirement age. Here's how to do it.

If your spouse is still working, you may be eligible for a survivor’s benefits. However, you cannot receive these benefits concurrently with your own. You must choose one benefit over the other. Social security survivors who are at full retirement age will receive benefits equivalent to the amount their deceased spouse received while working. If the deceased had children, the survivor will receive a lesser benefit than what the child would have gotten.
Spousal benefits may be available to you early, without any reductions
Spouses may be eligible for spousal benefits even if they are very young in some cases. These benefits are determined by a variety of factors including marital status, age, and work history.

How To
How to invest once you're retired
Retirees have enough money to be able to live comfortably on their own after they retire. But how can they invest that money? It is most common to place it in savings accounts. However, there are other options. For example, you could sell your house and use the profit to buy shares in companies that you think will increase in value. Or you could take out life insurance and leave it to your children or grandchildren.
However, if you want to ensure your retirement funds lasts longer you should invest in property. The price of property tends to rise over time so you may get a good return on investment if your home is purchased now. If you're worried about inflation, then you could also look into buying gold coins. They do not lose value like other assets so are less likely to drop in value during times of economic uncertainty.
