Commission on Sustaining Medicare and Social Security Act of 2023
HR 1618 establishes a 11-member commission to study the long-term sustainability of Medicare and Social Security. The commission, appointed by congressional leaders and the President, must submit a report within one year examining topics like how different cost-of-living adjustments affect beneficiaries, potential premium changes for Medicare, and ways to prevent fraud. It does not make policy changes but will analyze options to strengthen these programs. The commission will operate for one year, with a $2 million budget, and its findings will inform future congressional decisions on these programs.
