Give America a Raise Act

S 3780, the "Give America a Raise Act," would gradually raise the federal minimum wage from $10.00 to $20.00 per hour over four years, then tie future increases to inflation or GDP growth (whichever is higher). It would also phase out the separate lower minimum wage for tipped workers, requiring their base pay to match the standard minimum wage by 2027, while ending the separate $4.25 hourly rate for workers under 20. The bill includes provisions to transition individuals with disabilities out of special wage certificates by 2027 and requires employers to inform workers about retaining all tips. These changes would directly affect millions of low-wage workers across the U.S. in covered industries.
