Requires the Comptroller General to conduct a study in which the methodology is applied to determine how Federal benefits provided to beneficiaries in each State would be increased if: (1) such benefits were determined based on each State's cost of living under such methodology; and (2) the methodology were applied subject to a hold harmless provision under which benefits would only be increased for high cost of living States.
