How old are your "kids". You are entitled to being as many "family" members in with you as you have (family as defined by AC): "you can invite immediate family members* (spouse and dependent children)".

Reading the wording of the announcement, I can’t see how it could be interpreted that more news was to come.
In August 2023, we shared several improvements to your Status benefits that were designed to make your Elite experience simpler, more rewarding, and easier to share with loved ones. These changes included doubling eUpgrade Companion benefits, making your Status Passes more flexible, and introducing online flight reward changes.
We also hinted that additional changes were coming. Now, as we close out 2023 and prepare for another great year of travel, we’re ready to share the details of these improvements with you.

Selecting benefits?
When can this happen. Passed 100k two weeks ago and, for the life of me, cannot see anywhere on my dashboard where I can select 2024 benefits. Are they not yet selectable or what am I missing?

Yes I can, since I gifted my wife 50k. That’s why I did it, in part; because Star Alliance Gold is +1, I need both parents to have Star Gold status. All this is clear upthread in the discussion that culminates in the comment you replied to.

So if one were to obtain a new status with five days left in 2023 and be invited to selected 2023 benefits based on the new status, then come Jan 1st they would be able to selected a different set of benefits for 2024?

In theory yes, assuming that new status is one level above or greater than what you held for the beginning of 2014. What I am not certain of is the time lag for AC to recognize and process this.

Then early 2022 I chose benefits for the new benefit year - giving me a double dose of eups, as well as other additional benefits.
It may be different now.

Got status extended (35K) through 2024 via promo (for earning 10K points via CIBC Aeroplan card).. then spent $50K on Chase Aeroplan card to earn status level up.
Gotta try to pick 35K benefits ASAP before 50K status kicks , from status level up perk, in so I get to double dip on eUpgrade credits and MLL guest pass refills

AC IT got tired of being criticized... they removed all status trackers from the app and the website. Apparently just zero-ing them was too complex. 
(Sorry it's a bit of a new year tradition to complain about the state of AC IT.)

Yuppers. Except for a while they forgot the threshold trackers so you could still see those (except they weren't updated with SQM/SQD from the last day or two). It's an interesting strategy..
