1. Why then would the spouse be entitled to receive a survivor benefit?

2. The law was later changed to avoid this situation. That change would not be necessary if the situation did not occur.

Unfortunately for her, this is one of those cases that made the later law desirable.
Ill have to research any of the changes made, tax wise or policy wise at places I have worked to see if any of them would have helped if I had stayed, that legal theory could be a great boost to my financial heath
