Social Security (case of husband and wife)

I’m 70 yrs. old, already filed Social Security (SS) at age of 70. Currently I receive a monthly payment from about $3,000. My wife is 62 yrs. old, has worked more than 40 yrs. and still working. Per projection from SS she will receive about $2,700 at age of 67 (full retired age).  She would like to retire anytime soon..

What is the best options for her?

  1. When will be best time for her to draw SS? at age 62, 63, 64, 65, or 67?
  2. If she files SS at age shown in #1 above and will receive a monthly payment...  At that time if I suddenly passed away… Will she receive my full monthly payment $3,000? Thanks.
