Congress would require the Government Accountability Office to study how inflation is affecting Social Security and Medicare. The report, due within one year, must include recommendations for keeping full benefits intact. The bill does not change any benefits or taxes on its own.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Safeguarding Social Security and Medicare Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Latest action on H.R. 1339: Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects the tens of millions of Americans who receive Social Security or Medicare benefits, including retirees, people with disabilities, and survivors of deceased workers. If rising prices are quietly eroding what these programs can provide, this study could lead to changes that protect those benefits. The bill also affects Congress, which would receive the report and decide whether to act on its recommendations.
Why this matters: If inflation is rising faster than Social Security and Medicare can keep up, millions of people could see their real-world buying power shrink even as their benefit checks stay the same. This study aims to give Congress a clear, independent picture of that risk so lawmakers can act before the problem gets worse. However, the bill only requires a study — it does not guarantee any action will follow.
