I remember this from the SS retirement portion of the retirement briefings I got before I retired less than two years ago.
As far as a spouse you can claim your spouse no matter how many times you been married. Plus you can claim the one that made the most money! It does not effect the spouses SS benefits.
Your eligible at 62 to collect SS. It will not be the full benifit. Depending on your age the full benifit could be over 65. My example for me to collect full benifit would of been 66 four months being I am baby boomer. But I can collect it at 62 with reduced benifit. You have to decide at what age and amount you can afford to retire with the amount right for you.
