QUESTION:
Can I Delay collecting my Social Security but collect on my wife's Social Security
Can I delay until 70 taking my Social Security (SS) but draw on my wife's SS and receive 1/2 of hers then when I turn 70 start collecting on my SS at the higher rate since I delayed it. Also can my wife do the same thing on my SS.
