Full Description
This variable indicates that the individual received OASDI benefits as an aged spouse.
A person is entitled to aged spouse benefits if they are at least 62 years old and
are married to a worker who is receiving retirement or disability benefits. Like benefits
received by a person due to their own eligibility, spouse benefits are reduced if
the individual elects to receive them before the full retirement age. Unmarried divorced
spouses of retirement age who were married to the worker for at least 10 years are
also eligible for aged spouse benefits.
