What this amendment would do
What the Amendment is About
This amendment, labeled SA 1419 and submitted by Ms. Rosen, is about protecting Americans and holding our government officials accountable when it comes to Social Security benefits.
What it Aims to Change or Add
The amendment adds a new section to the bill creating a deficit-neutral reserve fund. In plain English, this gives the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget the power to make changes to financial levels and adjustments for future legislation.
Specifically, this allows Congress to pass laws that prohibit Executive Branch officers or employees from taking actions that limit Americans' ability to access their Social Security benefits.
The text notes that these prohibited actions could include:
- Reducing Social Security Administration staff
- Closing field offices
- Limiting customer service
