PiaParams::factorDisWidCalPL Method

Returns factor for disabled widow/widower benefit before age reduction.

C++
static double factorDisWidCalPL(
    const DateMoyr& benefitDate
);
Parameters 
Description 
const DateMoyr& benefitDate 
The date of benefit. 

Factor for disabled widow/widower benefit before age reduction.

For benefits prior to 1973, returns 0.825. For 1973 and later, returns 1.0, even though all disabled widow/widower benefits are 71.5 percent of PIA. We must do it this way because the unreduced benefit is used when applying the maximum family benefit. After the MFB, we reduce the benefit for age (0.715 factor).
