How old do you have to be to qualify for SS spousal benefits?

I still work full time but my younger husband is on disability. I will be 62 soon but he is only 58. Could he collect spousal benefits from my SS now or would he have to wait till he is 62?

We're raising adopted grandchildren and could use the extra income. I won't start collecting till 70 or so.

    His disability is probably higher then spousal benefits, he can not draw both

    But he has to be at least 62 and you need to be retired
