More than a friend, he has worked for me a few times, and I admire his diligence and work ethic.

But FAU professors have San Jose with their 15th lowest risk (14 percent too high) and San Francisco with the third-smallest (2 percent too high).

A survivor benefit can be up to 100 percent of what the deceased spouse received or had earned. If the husband had filed for his own benefit earlier, for example, that would reduce the survivor benefit the wife could receive.
