Provisions Affecting Family Member Benefits |
|
|
These provisions modify the specific benefit amounts received by widow(er)s, spouses, and/or children based on a worker's Social Security account. For the provisions listed below, we provide estimates of the financial effect on the OASDI program over the long-range period (the next 75 years) and for the 75th year. In addition, we provide detailed single year tables. All estimates are based on the intermediate assumptions described in the 2009 Trustees Report. Choose the type of estimates (summary or detailed) from the list of provisions. |

The current spouse benefit is based on 50 percent of the PIA of the
other spouse. Reduce this percent each year by 1 percentage point
beginning with newly eligible spouses in 2010, until the percent
reaches 33. Thus, the spouse benefit would be based on 33 percent
of PIA for newly eligible spouses in 2026 and later.
