Claiming Social Security Twice is Eliminated
Prior to 2016, some married individuals who were 62 or older had claimed Social Security retirement benefits twice.
Previously, a person whose spouse was at full retirement age and was herself or himself at an early retirement age, age 62 to 65, could claim spousal payments and then switch to payments based on their own work, which would then be higher because they were claiming it at an older age.
