Show full summary
- Seniors and other beneficiaries would get a certificate stating the monthly Title II benefit amount they are entitled to as of the certificate date and guaranteed annual cost‑of‑living adjustments tied to accurate individual increases.
- The Secretary of the Treasury would be required to issue certificates for people already entitled within 90 days after enactment and to issue certificates for new beneficiaries as they become entitled.
- The certificates would be treated as budget authority in advance of appropriations Acts and would represent the Federal Government's obligation to pay the stated Title II amounts, with later adjustments for changes in eligibility.

Guaranteed Social Security checks and yearly cost-of-living raises
The Treasury would send a benefit guarantee certificate to every person entitled to Social Security Title II benefits. People already entitled when the bill becomes law would get it within 90 days. New beneficiaries would get one on the day they are found entitled. The certificate would legally guarantee your monthly benefit amount as of the issue date. Your check would be adjusted at least once a year for an accurate cost-of-living increase, and when your eligibility changes under Social Security rules. The certificate would count as budget authority in advance of yearly funding bills, so the government would be obligated to pay the stated amounts.
