Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S119; text: CR S118)
This Senate resolution reaffirms Congress's commitment to preserving and strengthening the Social Security program, which has provided retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to Americans for 90 years since President Roosevelt signed it into law in 1935. The resolution acknowledges that Social Security faces significant long-term financial challenges that require bipartisan action to address, while emphasizing that the program remains the primary source of income for millions of seniors, disabled individuals, and surviving family members. It specifically states that automatic across-the-board benefit cuts must be avoided because they would harm the retirement security of tens of millions of Americans. The resolution calls on Congress members to work together in a bipartisan way to develop legislation ensuring Social Security's long-term financial stability. As a non-binding resolution expressing the Senate's position rather than creating new law, it contains no funding provisions or specific timelines, but serves as a statement of legislative intent for future Social Security reform efforts.
