Default Social security question

I looked on the SSA.gov site and did not find this exact question. My husband is retired and collects monthly SS benefit. I am also retired, 64, but wish to delay SS for several years. Am I able to collect spousal SS benefits until I decide to collect my own? If so, does it affect my benefit at all once I start to collect my own? I tried calling the SS office in Leesburg but was on hold quite a long time and hung up before I was able to talk to anyone. I saw someone’s post that they made an appointment and had all their questions answered. I did not find where I could make an appointment online. Thank you!
