Dear Katharine:
You should get what he is getting. If he filed for SS after you, did SS explain wifes' benefits to your husband? Unless he is getting delayed retirement credits because he worked after 65, you should be getting a small amount from his retirement.
Call and have your husband ask what his full retirement rate is and if it is over about 1850, then you could be due benefits as a wife. Then when he passes away, you will automatically covert over to his account.....Carol
