The Social Security Expansion Act of 2023 would increase benefits and ensure Social Security is fully funded for years to come by:

Requiring the wealthiest American households to pay their fair share of taxes. Over 93% of households would not see their taxes increase by one penny.

Increasing Social Security benefits across the board for current and new beneficiaries.

Increasing Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) for seniors who spend a disproportionate amount of their income on health care and prescription drugs.

Restoring student benefits up to age 22 for children of disabled or deceased workers if the child is a full-time student, and more.

This legislation is supported by voters across party lines because many of our families are scraping by paycheck to paycheck, no matter who we vote for. This burden is particularly heavy for seniors on fixed incomes. If the richest among us were to pay their fair share of taxes, we could provide for so many people and give our elders more comfort and security in their older years.

The Social Security Expansion Act would guarantee that we don't have to reduce benefits or raise the eligibility age, keeping millions out of poverty. Together, we can ensure every benefit owed to every eligible American is paid on time and without delay for the next 75 years.

Sign and send a petition to Congress: Pass the Social Security Expansion Act of 2023.
