Married retirees can maximize their Social Security benefits by understanding three often-overlooked rules. First, a spouse's earnings can negatively affect the other’s benefits if they continue to work while collecting Social Security. Second, spousal benefits can only be claimed once the spouse starts receiving their benefits. Finally, claiming Social Security early can lower the survivor benefits received by the spouse after the retiree's death. By navigating these regulations carefully, couples can enhance their financial security in retirement.
