More details to this question:
I am getting ready to retire at 62 in Oct. 13 my question is; I am legally separated from my spouse, he is not of retirement age as yet, and since we are still technically married my I collect on his SS and not mine until I reach 65? As he makes a great deal more money than I make his SS is higher than mine?

I believe even if divorced you can collect on his amount of SS.

As long as you have been married for more than 10 years, you can collect on his SS, whether you are married or not. You should meet with a financial advisor to make sure that it makes sense to do this.

You cannot collect on his Social Security now until he collects on it or until you are of legal age.
