Spousal Benefit Rules
✅ Maximum spousal benefit = 50% of worker's PIA
✅ Claiming before FRA reduces spousal benefit
✅ Delayed credits (past FRA) do NOT increase spousal benefit
✅ Worker must have filed for their own benefit first
✅ Divorced spouse: marriage must have lasted 10+ years
✅ Surviving spouse: up to 100% of worker's benefit
