I'm applying for retirement benefits and want to know how much my wife would get.
================
I can help you figure this out. Are you looking for the estimated amount that she would receive at full retirement age?
No, she already receives her own benefits.
Okay. Would you like me to help you calculate her benefit?
No, I just found out how to do it online. Just divide the amount and round down to the nearest dollar.
================
Be advised that this amount would be different if you are affected by the GPO.
================
Okay. How can I find more information about my benefit amount if I choose to retire before full retirement age?
You can always call our toll free number at 1-800-772-1213 or contact your local Social Security office for more information.
================
Will they be able to help me calculate my own benefits?
================
Absolutely. If you do not have access to your spouse's estimate or records, just call our toll free number for help.
Yes. I do not have access to her records and will be needing help.
No problem. Just call our toll free number or contact your local Social Security office for help.
