Allow divorced aged spouses and divorced surviving spouses married 5 to 9 years to get

applicable PIA percentage if married 6 years,...,90% of the applicable PIA percentage if
married 9 years. This benefit would be available to divorced spouses on the rolls at the

Establish an alternative benefit for a surviving spouse. For the surviving spouse, the
alternative benefit would equal 75 percent of the sum of the survivor's own worker benefit
and the deceased worker's PIA (including any actuarial reductions or delayed retirement credits).
If the deceased worker died before becoming entitled, use the age 62 actuarial reduction if deceased
before age 62, or the applicable actuarial reduction/DRC for entitlement at the age of death if
deceased after 62. The alternative benefit would not exceed the PIA of a hypothetical earner who earns
the SSA average wage index (AWI) every year, and who becomes eligible for retired-worker benefits in the
same year in which the deceased worker became entitled to worker benefits or died (if before entitlement).
The alternative benefit would be paid only if more than the current-law benefit. This benefit would be
available to surviving spouses on the rolls at the beginning of 2015 and those becoming eligible after 2015.
