What this amendment would do

As an analyst looking out for the people, let's break down what this amendment is all about in plain English.

Mr. Van Hollen submitted amendment SA 1860 to the concurrent resolution for the congressional budget for fiscal year 2025.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund specifically relating to services provided by the Social Security Administration.

What It Aims to Change or Add

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise allocations and other appropriate levels in the resolution for legislation related to Social Security Administration services.
  • It specifically notes that this can include preserving phone service for seniors and people with disabilities so they can access their Social Security benefits.
  • It comes with the strict rule that any such legislation must not increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
