Bipartisan Senators Introduce PROMISE Act
Effort to resolve Social Security funding shortfall by 2032.
Event Overview
A bipartisan group of senators introduced the PROMISE Act to address a projected 2032 funding shortfall in Social Security's retirement trust fund. The legislation creates a mandatory process for the Social Security Advisory Board to draft a solvency plan ensuring at least 50 years of stability. Any resulting proposal must move through committees and requires a three-fifths majority in the Senate and a simple majority in the House to become law.
