You need to confirm with SS, but I believe that you can collect as a spouse and later, usually at age 70(age when benefit maximizes), you can elect to continue with the spousal benefit or change to your own benefit which every is better.

I think what was changed was the ability to collect before age 65, then to repay the monies received to restore the full benefit.

SS needs to confirm.
