I am turning 64 in June and recently retired. My wife is 62 and still working part time. My plan was for her to start SS when she retires, likely somewhere between 64 and 67 and I defer until 70 to maximize the spousal benefit. Does that work or would she get the same if we both filed at full retirement age.
