Bill overview
This bill, the Social Security Survivor Benefits Equity Act, aims to increase the lump sum death payments provided to Social Security beneficiaries. Specifically, it proposes to update the current payment amount and index it to inflation, ensuring that the payments keep pace with rising costs. The bill modifies a section of the Social Security Act to establish a new, inflation-adjusted payment amount. This change would apply to payments made after January 1, 2025, for individuals who die on or after that date.
