Proposed Provision: The current spouse benefit is based on 50 percent of the PIA of the other spouse. Reduce this percent each year by 1 percentage point beginning with newly eligible spouses in 2011, until the percent reaches 33. Thus, the spouse benefit would be based on 33 percent of PIA for newly eligible spouses in 2027 and later.
