People would no longer pay federal income tax on their Social Security benefits. Workers and self-employed people would pay Social Security tax on earnings over $250,000. Some of those earnings would count toward future benefits.
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.
You Earned It, You Keep It Act is a House bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who receive Social Security and people earning more than $250,000 a year. Current recipients may pay less federal income tax. High earners may pay more Social Security tax and receive some added benefit credit. People using low-income aid programs would receive special protection from eligibility changes.
Why this matters: Some people now pay federal income tax on part of their Social Security benefits. This bill would end that tax, which could leave them owing less. It would also collect more Social Security tax from high earners and give some benefit credit for those payments. Replacing lost trust-fund money with general Treasury funds would change how part of the program is financed. The long-term effects on federal finances and Social Security benefits remain uncertain.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
