    I think those are related to survivor benefits. Like an old man marrying a young woman in the 40’s. Like the civil war vets marrying woman in the 20th century. The last civil war widow was getting benefits until she died in 2020. But still the same basic issue.

    But in that case the old man isn’t getting benefits but just is needed as a reference for the person actually getting them.
