Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Social Security should be preserved and protected for current beneficiaries, and for future generations to come.
H. Res. 506 is a non-binding resolution introduced in the House of Representatives that states the sense of the House: Social Security should be preserved and protected for current beneficiaries and for future generations. The bill emphasizes Social Security’s role in providing retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to tens of millions of Americans and highlights the ongoing payroll tax system that funds these benefits. It also notes the importance of individuals saving and investing for their own retirement, especially for younger workers. Importantly, as a “sense of the House” measure, it does not create new law, appropriate funds, or otherwise change benefits; it simply expresses support for maintaining the current Social Security program. Introduced on June 11, 2025, by Representative Claudia Tenney with several co-sponsors, the resolution is referred to the House Ways and Means Committee. It signals political support for preserving Social Security but does not specify any policy changes or reforms. As a statement of opinion, its practical effect is to frame the legislative discussion and public messaging around preserving Social Security rather than altering its structure or financing.
