Affirming the President's promise not to raise the Social Security and Medicare retirement age.
H. Res. 657 is a House Resolution that states, as a matter of congressional sentiment, that the retirement ages for Social Security and Medicare should not be raised and that current eligibility ages should be preserved. It frames this as honoring the President’s commitment (specifically referencing President Trump) not to pursue changes to retirement ages. The resolution emphasizes that raising the retirement age would reduce benefits for many Americans, particularly those in physically demanding jobs or with lower incomes, and it asserts that proposals to delay or limit earned benefits should be rejected. It is a non-binding expression of the House’s position, not a new law, and it does not by itself alter benefit rules or funding. The resolution is introduced in the House and referred to the Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce committees. It does not provide new funding or regulatory changes; its effect is to publicly align the House with a stated stance regarding Social Security and Medicare retirement ages and to signal opposition to any policy changes that would raise those ages.
