American Megatrends has a strict OEM business model for AMIBIOS: it sells source code to motherboard manufacturers or customizes AMIBIOS for each OEM individually, whichever business model they require. AMI does not sell to end users, and itself produces no end-user documentation or technical support for its BIOS firmware, leaving that to licensees.
The law says that one must have been married to the deceased for at least nine months before the death of that spouse. However, this is only basic because there are many more prerequisites about marriage especially where children are concerned.
To collect a survivorâs benefit, in most cases, the marriage must have lasted at least nine months, and the benefits may not begin until the widow is age 60. Disabled survivors can file earlier, at age 50. But most early widows, like Tia Murphy, 61, of Bethel, Conn., have a long wait for survivorâs benefits. She was widowed 13 years ago when her husband committed suicide, but, at 48, she was too young to claim benefits.
