Whereas, on August 14, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 301 et seq. ) into law, establishing a foundational commitment by the United States to provide economic security for its senior citizens;
Whereas August 14, 2025, marks the 90th anniversary of the Social Security program, a program that has served as the cornerstone of retirement security for generations of individuals in the United States, providing vital retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to millions;
Whereas the Social Security program has paid scheduled benefits throughout its 90-year history, delivering on the promise earned by workers in the United States and their families through a lifetime of contributions;
Whereas the Social Security program remains the primary source of income for millions of seniors, individuals with disabilities, and surviving family members, and its continued strength is vital to the economic well-being of the United States;
Whereas the Social Security program faces significant long-term financial challenges that require thoughtful and responsible action to ensure its continued stability and effectiveness;
Whereas preserving and strengthening the Social Security program is a bipartisan responsibility that requires cooperation and leadership from policymakers; and
