Protecting Social Security: Expedited Action and Office Accessibility
This act aims to ensure the continuity of Social Security benefit payments by introducing expedited legislative procedures if trust funds face insolvency. Additionally, it increases the accessibility of local Social Security offices, making it easier for citizens to handle their affairs in person and receive assistance.
Key points
If Social Security trust funds face insolvency, Congress will be required to act quickly to ensure continued benefit payments.
The changes aim to protect full benefits for eligible individuals, with any additional funds to be borne by the ultra-wealthy and corporations, without raising taxes for most citizens or decreasing benefits.
A local Social Security field office must operate in every county with a population greater than 150,000 people, improving access to assistance, especially for those unable to use online or phone services.
