What It Aims to Change or Add

  • The amendment adds a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to decreasing wait times and preventing delayed services with the Social Security Administration.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate to revise committee allocations, aggregates, and other appropriate levels in the resolution.

  • It allows the Chairman to make adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation relating to delayed services provided by the Social Security Administration, which may include preventing any increase in beneficiary wait times.
