A bill to amend title II of the Social Security Act to provide that an individual's entitlement to benefits thereunder shall continue through the month of his or her death (or of the insured individual's death in the case of a dependent), instead of terminating with the preceding month, unless the resulting delay in survivor eligibility would reduce total family benefits.

Summary
