Hi there. My wife recently applied for social security a year before full retirement. In her letter stating her acceptance, we were surprised to hear that she also receives spousal benefits. I heard they are like 50% of my own pension. My question is: What happens if I die before she does? Will she still get my full retirement or would she be stuck with the 50% spousal benefits?
