Bill > S4184

This bill, titled the "Senior Citizens’ Freedom to Work Act of 2026," aims to eliminate the retirement earnings test, which currently reduces Social Security benefits for individuals who continue to work and earn income above a certain threshold after reaching their full retirement age. By repealing specific sections of the Social Security Act related to this test, the bill intends to allow seniors to receive their full Social Security benefits regardless of their earnings from employment, thereby encouraging them to remain in the workforce if they choose. The bill also includes conforming amendments to various other provisions within the Social Security Act and the Railroad Retirement Act to align with the repeal of the earnings test, ensuring consistency across related programs. These changes will take effect for taxable years beginning after the bill's enactment.
