Widower benefit ruling could drain SS funds
A Supreme Court ruling extending widower benefits may cost about 500 million dollars in the first year. Up to 520,000 men could become eligible for new or boosted Social Security benefits, including 213,000 who did not contribute to Social Security through work. The decision targets sex discrimination in beneficiary rules and could exhaust cash reserves by the early 1980s.
