Legislative Updates on Social Security and Medicare

H.R.2909, You Earned It, You Keep It Act

H.R. 2909 removes the unfair practice of taxing earned Social Security benefits. This legislation would be paid for by raising the Social Security payroll tax cap to $250,000, ensuring that higher-earning Americans continue to pay into Social Security along with the rest of us. The non-partisan Office of the Chief Actuary states that passage of H.R. 2909 would extend the ability of the Social Security Trust Fund to pay all scheduled payments in full and on time for an additional 24 years!

Our Work

Your Benefits Are Earned, Not Entitled

Some call our benefits an “entitlement.” We say they’re EARNED. After years of faithfully contributing our earnings to Social Security, we’ve EARNED both our full and fair benefits, as well as a legally binding guarantee from our government that we’ll receive the Social Security benefits we’ve been promised.
