Supreme Court to rule on social security gender bias
The Supreme Court agreed to decide whether social security rules giving widows and wives higher benefits than widowers and husbands discriminate by sex. A Brooklyn widower with children seeks equal benefits, arguing the policy burdens male providers and strains trust funds. The case could cost hundreds of millions annually and affect benefits for many families. The court also added oral-argument time for a free-press case linked to pretrial publicity in a Nebraska murder case.
