I suggest the surviving spouse file in the same manner as years past to make things easier. If you switch things up, the PIN or 2019 AGI needed to e-file will be rejected.
Also be aware that if the full stimulus payments were not received, the taxpayer that passed in 2020 will still show an eligibility for the Recovery Rebate Credit (if the other requirements are met as well) and the surviving spouse will get that credit.
