Modernizes the application process for survivors insurance benefits under the Social Security Act.
The Survivor Benefits Application Modernization Act aims to update the application process for survivors insurance benefits under the Social Security Act. It mandates the establishment of an online portal for scheduling appointments and filing applications within 180 days and one year, respectively, after the bill's enactment. The Commissioner of Social Security must also submit a report to Congress three years after enactment, detailing the portal's development, implementation, and any changes in application volume or fraud. The bill authorizes necessary appropriations for these changes.
