Social Security 2100 Act (HR9519)
Current understanding
The Social Security 2100 Act (HR9519, 119th Congress) is an introduced omnibus Social Security reform proposal that would expand benefits (higher minimum benefit, revised COLA, caregiver credits) and change payroll-tax funding by applying FICA to wages above a higher threshold. For workers, it would alter both future benefit levels and payroll-tax withholding; for employers, it would raise the taxable wage base subject to the employer share of FICA. Status: introduced — referred to House Ways and Means, Education and Workforce, and Energy and Commerce Committees (evidence tier: null — area has no formal evidence model).
