What it does
The SWIFT Act would amend the Social Security Act to increase survivors benefits for disabled widows, widowers, and surviving divorced spouses by removing age-based eligibility restrictions and eliminating benefit reductions for those claiming benefits before retirement age. It would also raise the age limit for child-in-care benefits from 16 to 18 (or 19 for full-time students) and allow for increased benefit amounts based on delayed claiming of benefits. These changes would take effect on January 1, 2027, and apply to benefit determinations made on or after that date.
