What happened
Congress introduced the PROMISE Act, a bipartisan bill, which tasks the Social Security Advisory Board with drafting a 50-year solvency plan for Social Security. This plan is due by September 2026. The legislation seeks to force Congress to vote immediately on the plan, bypassing typical legislative delays. AARP has campaigned against the proposed reforms.

Why it matters
The Social Security Board of Trustees warned that beneficiaries could face automatic benefit cuts of up to 25 percent if federal trust funds run dry by 2032. The legislation aims to prevent this by forcing immediate action on the program's long-term fiscal stability.
Congress must enact reforms to address the shortfall in the Social Security system.
