Social Security Guarantee Act of 2025
To guarantee the right of individuals to receive Social Security benefits under title II of the Social Security Act in full with an accurate annual cost-of-living adjustment.
Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of the Treasury to issue legally enforceable "benefit guarantee certificates" to all individuals receiving or eligible for Social Security benefits under title II of the Social Security Act. The certificates guarantee the monthly benefit amount to which each individual is entitled as of the date of issuance. The certificates also guarantee that benefits will be adjusted at least annually based on the cost-of-living and in accordance with any future changes in an individual's eligibility status under Social Security law. These certificates are designated as budget authority and create a binding federal obligation to pay the guaranteed benefits.
