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

applicable PIA percentage if married 9 years. This benefit would be available to
divorced spouses on the rolls at the beginning of 2018 and those becoming eligible
after 2018.

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 2018 and those becoming eligible after 2018.

(retired workers) but not spouses of disabled workers.
