If the person with the higher benefit dies first, it is possible that the survivor's benefit (widow/widower) can be increased to equal what the deceased was getting. But not both.

50% in life; 100% in death. Assuming the spouse/widow is over full retirement age.
I'm sure I have more questions but I want to phrase them correctly. Probably just one more. Math was NEVER my strength.

And thanks very much for putting it plainly for me.
