Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 657 is a symbolic resolution affirming Congress's commitment to keep the retirement ages for Social Security and Medicare unchanged. The resolution references President Trump's July 2024 promise to oppose any increases to these retirement ages and calls on Congress to reject any proposals that would raise the ages or effectively cut benefits. The resolution affects current and future retirees—particularly lower-income workers, those in physically demanding jobs, and people who depend heavily on Social Security income—by asserting that they should be able to access these benefits at their current eligibility ages. The measure contains no funding or specific timeline, as it is a non-binding expression of the House's position rather than legislation that establishes new law or appropriates money. Currently, the full retirement age for Social Security has already risen to 67 for people born after 1960, and the resolution seeks to prevent any further increases.
