Summary
The Support Our Miners Act amends the Black Lung Benefits Act to increase monthly benefits for coal miners with black lung disease. The bill raises the annual benefit rate to $15,030 for 2026 and subsequent years, then indexes future increases to the Consumer Price Index to account for inflation. The legislation addresses the finding that benefit rates established in 1969 have lost approximately 40 percent of their purchasing power over time.
