Rep. John Larson (D-CT) just released an updated version of his landmark bill to expand Social Security: The Social Security 2100 Act: A Sacred Trust. If enacted, this bill would fulfill the promise of our Social Security system, extend the lifespan of the Social Security trust fund, and reduce inequality.

More than 90% of Democrats in the House are original co-sponsors―we need to show grassroots support so that it can get a vote on the floor!

Can you sign-on as a grassroots co-sponsor, today?

The Social Security 2100 Act will fulfill the promise of our Social Security system by:

• Increasing benefits across the board for all Social Security beneficiaries

• Improving the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) so that it reflects the inflation actually experienced by seniors

• Ensuring that no one retires into poverty after a full career of work by improving benefits for long-serving, low-wage workers

• Improving benefits for widows and widowers from two-income households

• Restoring student benefits up to age 22 for dependent children

• Increasing access to benefits for children living with grandparents

• Repealing the WEP/GPO penalty for public servants

• Ending the five-month waiting period to receive disability benefits

• Increasing benefits for the oldest old, those who have been receiving benefits for 20 years or more

• Providing caregiver credits to ensure that people are not penalized in retirement for taking time out of the workforce to care for children or other dependents

• Ending the disability benefit cliff

• Providing a tax cut for middle-income beneficiaries

• Ensuring that millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share by applying FICA to earnings above $400,000

This bill is consistent with a number of promises made by President Biden during his campaign―Congress should pass it now!
