Supporting the commemoration of August 14, 2025, as the 90th anniversary of the establishment of Social Security.

This is a non-binding House Resolution (H. Res. 651) introduced in the 119th Congress. It expresses the House’s support for commemorating August 14, 2025 as the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the Social Security Act, which was signed into law on August 14, 1935. The resolution highlights Social Security as a landmark program that has provided economic security for elderly Americans for nine decades and continues to be a central part of the nation’s social safety net, supported by workers and employers. There are no new policies, funding, or program changes tied to this resolution; its purpose is symbolic and educational, to recognize the anniversary and the program’s enduring importance. The resolution was introduced by Representative Bresnahan (joined by several cosponsors) and referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means. It memorializes the Social Security Act and references its codification in U.S. law (42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.).
