How to avoid a Social Security cut? Lawmakers are floating ideas for what to do

Senators Dick Durbin and Bill Cassidy have begun efforts to prevent a projected 22% cut in Social Security benefits starting within six years. Their proposed measure seeks to establish a process where the bipartisan Social Security Advisory Board would submit draft legislation aiming for at least 50 years of program solvency. Passage of this bill would involve debates through the Senate Finance Committee and the House Ways and Means Committee, followed by votes in both chambers.
