What this bill would do
The Social Security Guarantee Act of 2025 aims to ensure people receive their full Social Security benefits under title II of the Social Security Act. The Secretary of the Treasury would issue a benefit guarantee certificate to individuals entitled to these benefits. This certificate acts as a legally enforceable guarantee of the monthly benefit amount. It also ensures that benefits are adjusted at least once a year based on the individual's cost-of-living increases. Additionally, the certificate accounts for any future changes in an individual's eligibility status.
