How to avoid a Social Security cut? Lawmakers are floating ideas for what to do
Lawmakers like Dick Durbin and Bill Cassidy are leading an effort to prevent a projected 22% cut to Social Security benefits by establishing a process for Congress to act. Their primary measure calls for the bipartisan Social Security Advisory Board to collect public input and submit draft legislation aimed at ensuring the program's solvency for at least 50 years. This effort, however, has faced criticism from groups such as AARP.
