Bill > S2741

This bill, the Surviving Widow(er) Income Fair Treatment Act of 2023 (SWIFT Act), would make several changes to the Social Security Act to increase survivors' benefits for disabled widows, widowers, and surviving divorced spouses. The key provisions include: eliminating the age requirement for disabled widows and widowers to receive unreduced survivors benefits, eliminating the reduction in benefits for those who claim benefits before retirement age, increasing the child's age limit for child-in-care benefits, modifying the benefit limit for widows and widowers, and providing an increase in benefit amounts for those who delay claiming benefits. The bill also requires the Social Security Administration to provide information to widows, widowers, and surviving divorced spouses on available benefits and how to claim them.
