How much Social Security does a non working spouse get?

The Social Security benefit of a nonworking spouse is up to 50 percent of the working spouse's FRA benefit. (FRA is 66 for those born between 1943 and 1954.) So if your FRA benefit is $2,000 per month, your husband would be able to collect up to an additional $1,000.
