Bill > SR83

This resolution urges the United States Congress to adopt three specific bills related to Social Security: H.R. 1876 (Keeping Our Field Offices Open Act), H.R. 1877 (Protecting Americans' Social Security Data Act), and S. 770 (Social Security Expansion Act). The resolution highlights concerns about potential threats to Social Security, including statements by Elon Musk calling the program a "Ponzi Scheme" and the Social Security Administration's (SSA) plans to cut staff by 12%, close 6 out of 10 regional offices, and reduce customer service options. The resolution emphasizes the importance of Social Security for approximately 70 million Americans, including nearly 3 million Pennsylvanians who receive an average monthly benefit of $1,979. The Pennsylvania Senate strongly opposes federal cuts to Social Security benefits, supports maintaining robust staffing and local office facilities, and calls for protecting the program from what it describes as potential attacks by various entities, including the Trump Administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The resolution ultimately demands that Congress, the administration, and other parties "keep their hands off Social Security" and protect the benefits that Americans have earned through a lifetime of work.
