Seniors: 5 Social Security Bills in Congress Right Now — One Would Pay Full Benefits at 60

A new bill in Congress would let people who spent their careers in physically demanding jobs collect their full Social Security at 60 — seven years early, with no reduction. It's one of five Social Security bills in Congress right now. Here is what each one would do, who it would help, where it actually stands, and what it means for your check — plus the one bipartisan plan that could actually get a vote before the retirement trust fund runs short in late 2032. THE FIVE BILLS 1) Blue Collar Social Security Fairness Act (Rep. Haley Stevens): full benefits at 60 after 20 years of physically demanding work, or 15 points on an age-weighted scale. 2) You Earned It, You Keep It Act (Rep. Angie Craig, Sen. Ruben Gallego): no federal income tax on Social Security benefits, permanently. 3) Social Security 2100 Act (Rep. John Larson, Sen. Richard Blumenthal): an increase worth about 2% of the average benefit, a raise based on CPI-E, a stronger minimum benefit. 4) Social Security Expansion Act (Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren): $2,400 a year more, according to its sponsors. 5) The bipartisan fix: the Cole–Suozzi Social Security Commission Act in the House and the PROMISE Act in the Senate. None of these is law. Nothing changes in your check because of them, and nobody can "sign you up" for any of them — if someone calls offering to, hang up.
