Bipartisan Social Security Commission Act of 2026
To establish the Commission on Long-Term Social Security Solvency, and for other purposes.
HB9187 proposes the establishment of the Commission on Long-Term Social Security Solvency to address the future sustainability of Social Security. This bipartisan bill, sponsored by Tom Cole, Don Bacon, Thomas Suozzi, and Derek Tran, aims to ensure the program remains financially stable for future generations. The commission would be tasked with studying various options to secure Social Security’s long-term viability and recommend solutions to Congress.
The bill would affect millions of Americans who rely on Social Security benefits, including retirees, disabled individuals, and surviving family members. By examining and addressing the financial challenges facing Social Security, the commission's recommendations could impact benefit levels, funding mechanisms, and eligibility criteria.
As of June 8, 2026, HB9187 has been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Ways and Means and the Committee on Rules. The next steps involve further review and potential amendments by these committees before any further legislative action can occur.
