I chose the spouse survivor option when I retired so my wife (3 years older than me) would receive benefits if I die first. Is this considered a "joint annuity"?

I think the answer is "yes", but started questioning this when I read the info on the "learn more" link located in the "yes" response to whether the annuity covers more than one individual. The info only discusses NON-SPOUSE beneficiaries.
