Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun, D-Ill., introduced legislation today to help improve retirement security for spouses, especially women. The bill, the Women's Pension Equity Act of 1996, would simplify the spousal consent form for survivor annuities, and includes other provisions to help spouses, ex-spouses and widows get survivor benefits.
