Early/Late Retirement

I delayed applying for my Social Security retirement until I was 68. My wife draws on the basis of my record, but she gets quite a bit less than 50% of my benefit.

When I receive my annual Social Security Statement showing the benefit I am eligible for at various ages, does this amount include my wife's spousal benefit?

Is it correct that if my wife receives Social Security based on her own earnings at 62 she cannot switch to 50% of my benefit when I retire?

I have been married for 25 years. I am very ill with a terminal condition. My wife is 61 years old. I retired at age 70 and receive a monthly Social Security benefit of $1,850.

I am 75 years old; my wife is 61. I did not start collecting social security until age 70 and receive about $1,650 per month benefit.

I am a US resident alien; lived and worked in the US since 1970. Fully current and paid up member of the Social Security club. Do I have to be a US citizen

Would you be kind enough to tell me the maximum monthly social Security one can receive?

I'm 61 years old, retired and in fairly good health. My wife is still working and combined with our income from my savings -- we're really not in need of Social Security money.

My husband just passed away at age 64. He had taken early retirement at age 63 but switched to disability because he had retired due to his poor health.

I am still working full-time. I would like to know how my continued employment will affect my Social Security benefits.
