Wife's Benefit

I am posting this on behalf of a US citizen,very long term resident in Mexico, married to a Mexican woman in the US a long time ago, with her Mexico to US visa in order. He is worried about dropping dead and thinks internet is evil.

Aside from survivor benefits, there also seems to be a wife's benefit for wives without paid in social security available at age 62 to spouses, irregardless of nationality, if the husband is beyond 65, or whatever the current age limit is.
.
Supposedly there is a one month US residency required for the spouse in order to apply.

Does anyone have any experience with this type of situation? Gracias
