Independent businessmen back extending widows Social Security benefits
Independent business owners favor keeping full Social Security benefits for surviving spouses after a worker’s death. A National Federation of Independent Business poll shows 64 percent support Gallagher’s legislation, 40 percent oppose, with Nebraska showing 47 percent support and 45 percent dissent. The proposal would raise annual payouts and may require higher taxes, but most independents prefer preserving widows’ income.
