In the lifetime planner, my life expectancy is shorter than my wife's life expectancy. My social security benefit will is about 4 times greater than my wife's and she should start to receive that higher benefit upon my death. Is there a way to make the Lifetime Planner reflect this? It seems it should be inherent in the modeling or there should be a checkbox to enable the higher benefit to kick in if the higher paid spouse dies before the lower paid surviving spouse. This makes a big difference in our retirement calculations since my wife is 9 years younger than me.

Nevermind. I looked at the results and the benefits are properly updated on the death of the spouse. Ignore this.
