Keep Billionaires Out of Social Security Act

Protection from Outside Interference: Section 2 ensures that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has no authority or jurisdiction over the Social Security Administration, its personnel, systems, or benefits. This protects everyday Americans by keeping outside entities from disrupting their benefits and operating systems.

Better Customer Service and Maintained Offices: Section 6 mandates that the Social Security Administration maintain at least the same number of field offices, hearing offices, and resident stations that existed on January 1, 2025. It also requires the agency to improve telephone wait times, maintain live operator assistance, and protect staffing levels from hiring freezes.

Increased Funding for Backlogs and IT: Section 9 appropriates $2,000,000,000 for fiscal years 2026 through 2035 to reduce initial disability claims backlogs, increase awareness of Supplemental Security Income for families with disabled children, and modernize information technology capabilities.

Capping Overpayment Deductions: Section 10 amends how overpayments are recovered by limiting monthly benefit decreases to the greater of 10 percent of the monthly benefit or $10, protecting beneficiaries from losing large portions of their monthly income due to administrative errors.

Legal Assistance Grants: Sections 11 and 12 provide grants to state protection and advocacy systems and community-based organizations to help individuals with disabilities navigate the application and appeals processes for Social Security benefits.
