The amount of Social Security check that your wife/husband can collect based on your record depends on the age that he/she applies. At full retirement age, which is 66 for most folks retiring now, your spouse will receive half of your benefits. This amount will be less if your wife/husband starts collecting spousal benefits between ages 62 and prior to her/his full retirement age of 66. It is important to mention here that your spouse's benefit check will not include any delayed retirement credits that you have accrued. Also if your spouse will receive a pension that is not covered by Social Security, her/his benefit amount may be reduced.
Can you collect both unemployment benefits and Social Security in Louisiana?
I believe this answer is slightly incorrect -- "Yes, you can. Under "Non monetary Issues" > "Disqualifications" item (f) on page 5 of the Related Link below, Social Security benefits are excluded from the disqualifying chargeable benefits you receive." As I understand it, people who live in Louisiana and Illinois and receive social security payments and are eligible for unemployment benefits will have money deducted from their unemployment checks. In illinois, half a person's weekly social security payment is deducted from that person's weekly unemployment check. Illinois AARP has made repealing the social security offset law a priority.
