Gabe Amo will work to update and expand Social Security survivor benefits and index the SSA death benefit to the Consumer Price Index.

Congressman Gabe Amo and U.S. Senator Peter Welch introduced the Social Security Survivor Benefits Equity Act, which would raise survivor benefits from $255 to $2,900 beginning in 2026 and index the SSA death benefit to the Consumer Price Index.

Amo co-led legislation to increase Social Security survivor benefits and tie the death benefit to CPI.

The official latest-news feed on Gabe Amo's House site shows June 26, 2026 coverage of his LIFT AI Act committee passage, plus June 23 housing legislation and June 12 gold-medal legislation; no Social Security survivor-benefit or death-benefit action appears in that lookback window.

Recent official activity is on AI, housing, and a gold-medal bill, not Social Security. This points to the claim remaining unresolved in the current term rather than delivered or blocked.

The Issues page lists Congress, Economy, Education, Energy, Health, and Veterans, and directs visitors to contact the office for more information; it does not present a Social Security-specific issue page or any survivor-benefit/death-benefit commitment.

The member's current issue page does not surface a Social Security agenda item matching the promise, so there is no official-site evidence of delivery.
