Default Ds's social security increased?? Any idea why??

Well my ds's father passed away in August and we've been receiving $499 a month. As of Jan it increased to $507 and some change. I didn't receive any notice of why and I'm almost afraid to try to find out. Any ideas??
Also -- does anyone know if I have to claim ds's social security on my taxes?? I'll find out next week when we get our taxes done but I'm dying to know. It would seem pretty stupid if I did.

I think that there was a SS cost of living increase in January...my mil got one- she is on SSD and as far as the taxes...you might want to ask a tax adviser....but she does not have to file taxes for her SSD....it should be the same for that type of SS benefit...

Thanks so much girls!! Calling the SS office is ALMOST as frustrating as it was dealing with the Child Support Courts. Glad I could get an answer here instead!
