Bill overview
The Emergency Social Security Benefits Improvement Act proposes several changes to the Social Security system aimed at increasing benefits and expanding eligibility. Key provisions include a 3-percent across-the-board increase in monthly benefits, adjustments to minimum benefit calculations for individuals with low lifetime earnings, an extension of child benefits for full-time post-secondary students up to age 23, and modifications to how benefits are calculated for widows and widowers in two-income households. The bill also seeks to improve access to benefits for children living with grandparents or other relatives and adjusts the tax treatment of Social Security benefits.
