Part of Social Security is dedicated to helping many qualifying individuals, this can include those who remain after the death of a family member. Survivor benefits can be very helpful for many who qualify, unfortunately, this is not always true.

Many senior citizens rely on their entire household income each month; when a spouse passes away, the surviving spouse loses a portion of this income, and survivor benefits do not make up for the loss.

This is why our bill, The Senior Citizens Bill of Rights, includes a guarantee that surviving spouses do not lose this essential income. Find out more about our bill and how you can help now.
