Hi Jeremy, If you die before your wife reaches 70, her spousal benefits would convert to widow's benefits.
(Note, the spouse has to collect a retirement benefit before full retirement age if she applies for her spousal benefit). The answer, in fact, is no.
Also note that her spousal benefit can't be higher than 50% of your Primary Insurance Amount (PIA), which is equal to your full retirement age (FRA) retirement benefit amount, not 50% of your increased benefit at 70.
So, if Jane's husband's PIA is $2,000, her spousal benefit would be $500 (i.e. $2,000/2 $50000), which would then be added to Jane's reduced retirement rate of $433 to make her combined benefit rate $933.
