That kind of stinks. A guy can work hard supporting his wife, die at 65, and she only gets half the benefit?

Well, all the more reason to go for the full amount, half of a bigger number is better than half of a smaller number. I'm 15 years away, anyway.

Not exactly. She gets either her benefit or her husbands benfit, whichever is greater.
