My wife has recently passed away and I had before the PBGC took over the 100% survivor benefit established. Before the PBGC took over if she passed first I was told to contact the pension folks and the amount of money paid out would be increased as they did not have a surving spouse to account for. The PBGC does see that 100% spouse benefit but does not see the way to change it but does not see a way to change it to increase the payout as previously noted.
Have any of you seen this is other cases and could something be done about it?
thanks
Jerry
