90th Anniversary of the Social Security Act

This document is a presidential proclamation commemorating the 90th anniversary of the Social Security Act. It does not enact new law but signals the President’s vision and policy priorities related to Social Security (and related programs like Medicare). The proclamation extols Social Security’s enduring purpose, touts recent administration arguments about strengthening the program, and outlines administration-focused actions and priorities: aggressive anti-fraud efforts to stop payments to the deceased and to remove benefits for those who do not legally qualify; efforts to make the Social Security Administration more efficient and responsive; and a stated linkage between border security policies and preserving Social Security and Medicare for citizens who paid into the programs. The proclamation also references a claim that a recent broad legislative package (“One Big Beautiful Bill”) delivers tax relief for most seniors on Social Security, framing this as part of the administration’s policy achievements. It is ultimately a ceremonial document reaffirming commitment to social insurance programs rather than a new statutory framework.
