Resolution to secure and strengthen social security and the social trust fund

This Montana joint resolution asks the U.S. Congress and federal government to increase Social Security funding to ensure benefits remain secure for at least 75 years without any cuts. The bill directly affects Montana residents who rely on Social Security for retirement, disability, survivor, and children's insurance benefits, representing over 250,000 people in the state. The resolution includes factual statements about Social Security's current funding status, noting that the trust fund has accumulated a surplus and that benefits have never been missed in 90 years of operation. It specifically requests federal action to address projected shortfalls by increasing funding rather than reducing benefits, while also distributing copies to federal officials and Montana's congressional delegation.
