*The source notes: "In response to a March 1997 audit by the Social Security Administration (SSA) Office of the Inspector General, notifications of eligibility for higher benefits were mailed to approximately 200,000 surviving spouses, resulting in higher numbers for 1997. SSA subsequently initiated the Widow(er)'s Insurance Benefits/Retirement Insurance Benefits (WIB/RIB) outreach program to identify and notify surviving spouses who are eligible for higher retirement benefits at FRA and age 70."
