Applying for Social Security spousal benefits is actually quite simple. You use the same form for spousal benefits as you would use for regular Social Security benefits. Find the form on the Social Security website. You can also call the Social Security Administration for help filling out the form, or you can visit your local Social Security Administration office and fill it out in person. The whole application only takes about 15 minutes to fill out, start to finish.
