Safeguarding Social Security and Medicare Act
HR 1339, the Safeguarding Social Security and Medicare Act, requires the Comptroller General to conduct a study within one year of enactment on how inflation and rising living costs impact Social Security and Medicare benefits. The study will examine these effects and provide Congress with specific recommendations for legislative actions to maintain full benefits for these programs. This study directly addresses the needs of 71.7 million Social Security recipients and 66.6 million Medicare beneficiaries, focusing on financial pressures faced by seniors and disabled individuals. The bill itself does not change current benefits but aims to inform future policy decisions through evidence-based analysis.
