“As one of your constituents in [your state, city, or town], I’m asking you to support the passage of the Senior Citizens Bill of Rights.
American seniors depend on the Social Security benefits they’ve earned throughout their careers to make ends meet during retirement. This legislation will legally guarantee every beneficiary receives the full amount of their retirement benefits and provide retirees with the peace of mind they deserve.
Please be the champion seniors need by joining our fight to pass the Senior Citizens Bill of Rights.
Thank you for your time and support.”
If Congress doesn’t act, Social Security’s trust fund reserves will be depleted by 2035. After that, the program will still collect payroll taxes, but they’ll only be enough to pay about 83% of scheduled benefits. That means seniors could face a 17% cut in the benefits many rely on to survive. Without action, this shortfall could have serious consequences for millions of Americans.
You can obtain your Social Security report, which provides an estimate of your retirement benefits, by accessing your Social Security Statement online or requesting a physical copy. Here’s how you can do it:

Tips for Accurate Estimates
To become law, a bill must go through several steps:
Drafting & Introduction: A member of Congress writes and introduces the bill in either the House or Senate.
Committee Review: The bill is reviewed, possibly amended, and voted on in committee.
Chamber Debate & Vote: If approved, it’s debated and voted on by the full chamber.
Second Chamber: The other chamber repeats the process.
Conference Committee (if needed): If both chambers pass different versions, a committee resolves differences.
Final Vote: Both chambers vote on the final version.
Presidential Action: The President signs the bill into law or vetoes it (which Congress can override with a two-thirds vote).
Only after clearing all these steps does a bill officially become law.
