Bill > HR241

This resolution urges the United States Congress to adopt three specific bills related to Social Security: H.R. 1876 (the "Keeping Our Field Offices Open Act"), H.R. 1877 (the "Protecting Americans' Social Security Data Act"), and S. 770 (the "Social Security Expansion Act"). The resolution highlights concerns about potential threats to Social Security, including recent comments by Elon Musk calling the program a "Ponzi Scheme" and the Social Security Administration's (SSA) plans to cut staff by 12% and close multiple regional and field offices. The resolution emphasizes the importance of Social Security, noting that approximately 70 million Americans receive monthly benefits totaling around $1.6 trillion annually, with nearly 3 million Pennsylvanians receiving an average monthly benefit of $1,979. The Pennsylvania House of Representatives 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 perceives as potential attacks by the Trump Administration, Elon Musk, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The resolution also demands that Congress take action to preserve Social Security and ensure continued access to benefits for retirees and beneficiaries.
