I am no employed (early retirement) and pay AVS contributions from my unemployment benefits. My wife will reach retirement age next year, but I still have almost ten years to go. Will I have to continue paying social security after my wife reaches retirement age?

Hi there,

Your wife's retirement does not affect your obligation to make social security contributions in this case. You must continue to make social security contributions until you reach retirement age.

Best regards from Moneyguru
