To amend title II of the Social Security Act to provide that a monthly insurance benefit thereunder shall be paid for the month in which the recipient dies.

H.R. 3459 proposes a change to Social Security rules to ensure that a beneficiary’s final monthly payment is paid in full for the month of their death. Under current law, if a recipient dies before the last day of the month, their family is often required to return that month's benefit payment. This bill would allow the estate or surviving family members to keep the benefit for that final month, providing additional financial support to help cover end-of-life expenses or outstanding bills.
