Bipartisan Social Security Commission Act of 2023

The Bipartisan Social Security Commission Act of 2023 establishes a 13-member commission to develop long-term solutions for Social Security solvency. The commission, appointed with bipartisan representation from Congress and experts, must submit recommendations within one year for ensuring the solvency of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund for at least 75 years. Congress must then expedite consideration of these recommendations through a special "approval bill" with strict time limits and no amendments. This bill directly affects future Social Security policy decisions by creating a structured process for addressing the program's financial sustainability.
