Interesting scenario.

But, I believe that your Social Security benefits are independent of your wife's.

You might want to visit your local Social Security office. You can locate it here: https://secure.ssa.gov/apps6z/FOLO/fo001.jsp

You can also call the toll-free Social Security number 1-800-772-1213
