Robert

Retired in 72. Been paying into the system ever since.($25-$30 a
month).

Wife will get 55 percent of retirement monthly if I die before her.

There is no vesting as when I die and my wife dies the money stops. It
does not continue and go to the children, estate, etc.

Well, I'll leave you to work on that. In the mean time, do you recall
if that benefit applied to active duty back in the 70's.
