Bill Summary

To amend title 31, United States Code, to provide for automatic continuing resolutions for the Social Security Administration. This bill provides continuing appropriations to the Social Security Administration (SSA) if an appropriations bill for an SSA account has not been enacted before a fiscal year begins or a joint resolution making continuing appropriations for the account is not in effect. The bill provides appropriations at the rate of operations that was provided for the prior fiscal year to continue programs, projects, and activities for which funds were provided in the preceding fiscal year.

AI Summary

This bill, the Social Security Protection Act of 2019, amends Title 31 of the United States Code to provide for automatic continuing appropriations for the Social Security Administration (SSA). Specifically, if an appropriations bill for the SSA has not been enacted by the start of a fiscal year, this bill would automatically appropriate the necessary funds to continue SSA programs, projects, and activities at the same rate as the previous fiscal year. This continuing appropriation would remain in effect until a regular appropriations bill or a continuing resolution becomes law. The goal of this bill is to ensure the uninterrupted operation of the SSA in the event of a funding lapse.
