Affirming the President's promise not to raise the Social Security and Medicare retirement age.
Sponsored By: Representative Kaptur, Marcy [D-OH-9]
Introduced
Summary
Preserve current Social Security and Medicare eligibility ages. This resolution would oppose raising those ages and calls delays an effective benefit cut that hits lower-income people and workers in physically demanding jobs.
Show full summary
- Seniors and near-retirees would keep current access to earned benefits. Among Social Security beneficiaries aged 65 and older, 39% of men and 44% of women get half or more of their income from Social Security.
- Workers in physically demanding jobs and lower-income communities would be singled out as facing disproportionate harm if eligibility ages rose, based on cited nonpartisan analyses.
- Medicare-eligible adults would avoid delayed coverage and higher out-of-pocket costs. More than 4.1 million Americans will turn 65 each year through 2027 and many rely on Medicare for care.
- The resolution highlights that the full Social Security retirement age already rose from 65 to 67 for people born after 1960 and describes further increases as an undue burden on seniors and near-retirees.
