Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Education and Workforce, 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.R. 9415, the Safeguarding American Families and Expanding Social Security Act of 2026, makes two major changes to Social Security. First, it gradually removes the income cap on Social Security payroll taxes for higher earners, starting in 2026 at 80 percent taxation of wages above the current threshold and reaching full taxation by 2030. Second, beginning in 2027, the bill changes how Social Security benefits are adjusted for inflation by replacing the standard Consumer Price Index with a new "Consumer Price Index for Elderly Consumers" that reflects the actual spending patterns of retirees on goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics will create and publish this specialized index monthly. These changes aim to strengthen Social Security's finances while ensuring benefits keep pace with costs that matter most to older Americans.
