Can My Wife Draw Off Of My Social Security?

can my wife draw off my social security she draws $450 a month

Hi,

I can't answer your question without more information. In order for your wife to potentially be eligible to draw benefits from your record, you would have to be drawing your benefits and your full retirement age rate (PIA) would have to be more than twice as much as your wife's PIA.

Best, Jerry
