SSDI to SSI conversin and my best SS caliming strategy

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

My 58 Year old wife is on SSDI. I understand that when she turns 66 (her FRA) SSDI converts to SSI.
I will be turning 62 this year and am investigating SS claiming strategies. It appears that the best would be for Me to Claim and suspend when my wife turns 66. Then she can claim a spousal benefit on my record. Then When she turns 70 she collects her benefit. I collect my benefit when I turn 70.
Can I employ this strategy and have her SSDI not convert automatically to SSI when she turns 66?
