Increases Social Security death payments and adjusts them for inflation.
This bill would increase the Social Security lump sum death payment from its current maximum of $255 to $2,900. It would also make sure this payment keeps up with inflation in future years. This change would provide an increased benefit to eligible families.
Today, eligible families receive a Social Security lump sum death payment of up to $255. If this bill becomes law, that payment would increase to $2,900 for deaths on or after January 1, 2025. For deaths in 2026 and beyond, this $2,900 amount would also be adjusted annually to keep up with inflation.
