If I start receiving benefits based on my earnings and my husband dies before my FRA can I delay filing for survivors benefits until my FRA? Also, if I go ahead and apply for spousal benefits at 62, can I still wait until FRA to file for survivor benefits or will I automatically be switched to survivor benefits when my husband passes?
