mbr_agedsp_benefit |
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.
