Social Security Survivor Benefits Equity Act

This bill updates the Social Security lump sum death payment to $2,900, increasing it annually based on inflation starting in 2025. It directly affects survivors of Social Security beneficiaries who die on or after January 1, 2025, by ensuring the payment keeps pace with rising costs. The change applies automatically to payments made under Section 202(i) of the Social Security Act, replacing the previous fixed amount with an inflation-adjusted figure tied to the Consumer Price Index.
