...........Having not perused this thread in its entirety......
.........................................Perhaps this needs to be mentioned.......

....IF your spouse has passed away....

...........You are entitled to the Surviving Spouse benefits at age 60.

......You CAN collect the Surviving Spouse benefit,
............then switch to your own at 62 or 66 or whatever age.....
..................if and when your own benefit becomes a larger $$$ amount.
