At the appropriate time she will take her higher SS benefit. I have heard that if a spouse has not worked a day in their life they are eligible for this spousal benefit. There are lot's of ways to manipulate your SS benefit. Like I said I haven't tried this yet but it may be worth looking into. You may wish to start reading SS benefits on the net under AARP. Good Luck!!
