Ok, so you are referring to the percentage of the benefit lost compared to before the loss.
So the loss of SS household income would range between 1/3 to 1/2. (If I did the math right, looking at the extreme cases) Correct?
RE: "If the disappearing benefit was larger than the spousal benefit, the hit would be even larger"Sorry but I do not understand this statement. The surviving spouse is entitled to receive the larger of the 2 benefits, upon the passing of the other spouse. Can you elaborate pls.Thx
