Social Security Is STILL Shortchanging Widows

In 2009, senior officials at the Social Security Administration were made aware of grossly underpaying widows who were entitled to much larger benefits.  They did nothing.  So, the "whistleblower", for lack of a better term, contacted the one person with a large enough megaphone and deep understanding of Social Security to tell him about this absolute disgrace, Larry Kotlikoff.  In 2015, Larry wrote a scorching article for PBS about this issue.  The Social Security Administration did nothing.
