It seems though once you start getting it you will get it every year

This thread is so long that some participants may have lost sight of the original issue. The problem addressed in this thread involves filing as married filing jointly with a deceased spouse. You would only be doing that for one year, or at most two years (the year that the spouse died, and possibly the preceding year if the spouse died before the return for the preceding year was filed). Filing as married filing jointly with a deceased spouse does not go on for years.
Also note that, if you filed jointly in the previous year, both spouses have the same prior-year AGI.
