I heard a rumor that in 2021, Soc. Sec. passed something that would pay $100 more per month for Survivor's Benefits; I assume retroactively but have no idea. Do you know anything about something like this? In the current economic situation, it sure would be nice!
Thank you for your reply!

Hi. No. All Social Security benefits were increased by 5.9% this year due to a cost of living (COLA) increase, but aside from that there was no across the board change in survivor benefit rates.
