Great question,
If your spouse is eligible for retirement benefits on their own , the amount from their income will always be paid first. But, if the spouse's benefit that is payable on your record is a higher amount, they will get a combination of the two benefits that equals the higher amount.
I hope it helps, please let us know if you have any additional questions.
Enjoy your day!!
