You recommended a wife start collecting 50% of her husband's socialsecurity benefit, then dropping that coverage and switching to collecting her own SSbenefit $ when she reached maximum benefit ss age.... question: will husband's ss coverage or monies decrease by the wife using this plan?? when the husband starts collecting his own SS dollars, is the amount a husband collects less bec the wife tapped his ss account earlier?? am allylewis@aol.com
