The actual amount of your payment will differ according to your age and family circumstance:
As previously noted, if you have reached full retirement age, you get 100 percent of the benefit your spouse was (or would have been) collecting. If you claim survivor benefits between age 60 and your full retirement age, you will receive between 71.5 percent and 99 percent of the deceased’s benefit. The percentage gets higher the older you are when you claim. If you claim in your 50s as a disabled spouse, the survivor benefit is 71.5 percent of your late spouse's benefit. If you apply on the basis of caring for a child who is under 16 or disabled, you can collect 75 percent of the late spouse’s benefit, regardless of your age. SHOPPING & GROCERIES
How a deceased spouse's age affects the Social Security retirement benefit
When a spouse passes, the SSA pays an eligible surviving spouse a percentage of the deceased's retirement benefits, depending on the deceased's age:
If the deceased did not reach full retirement age, the surviving spouse can receive 100% of the retirement benefit. If the deceased reached retirement age, the surviving spouse can receive whatever the deceased was entitled to in the month of their death. Similarly, if the deceased already received monthly payments, the surviving spouse is entitled to what they received in the month of their death. How a surviving spouse's age affects Social Security retirement benefits As a surviving spouse, you're entitled to 100% of the deceased's benefits once you reach full retirement age. The full retirement age can differ based on the type of benefit. See this chart for the survivor's full retirement age. If you're younger than full retirement age but at least age 60 (or age 50 with a disability), you are entitled to a reduced benefit (71½% to 99%, depending on your age).
"file and suspend" 是一种退休福利策略，也与社会保障相关。它指的是申请人首先申请社会保障福利，然后立即暂停（suspend）领取这些福利，以便让自己的配偶能够开始领取配偶福利。这样做的好处是，申请人可以继续积累自己的社会保障福利，因为福利的金额会随着推迟领取而增加，同时让配偶也能够开始领取福利。这种策略在2016年也进行了修改，不再适用于所有人，而是仅限于在特定时间内达到了完全退休年龄的人。
"Restricted Application for Spousal Benefit Only"是指在美国社会保障制度下的一种申请策略。通常，配偶可以根据自己的工作收入获得社会保障福利，也可以根据配偶的工作收入获得更高的福利。Restricted Application for Spousal Benefit Only允许符合条件的人选择只领取配偶的福利，而不领取自己的福利，以便在未来可以获取更高的个人福利。这种策略一般适用于已达到完全退休年龄的人，并且必须在符合一些特定条件下才能使用。
第一种情况，都活着时，不工作的拿另一方的一半，最后活下来的无工作一方拿对方的75%。
第二种，都活着时拿各自的社安金，如果最后活着的一方是挣得少的那位，会算高的那方的75%再加上活着的那方的社安金但不能超过高的那位的退休金。
最后结论是挣钱少的一方62岁退，挣钱多的一方70岁退，这样可以利益最大化，不知道我以上的理解对不对
从配偶75% 基础上算
