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.
