U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan, Jr. (PA-08) has introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives to recognize the 90th anniversary of Social Security. The resolution aims to acknowledge the role Social Security has played in providing financial security and dignity for older Americans, while also reaffirming Congress’s commitment to preserving the program.
“For generations across Northeastern Pennsylvania and beyond, Social Security has been more than a program, it has been a lifeline,” said Rep. Bresnahan. “Social Security continues to support tens of millions of Americans annually, reflecting decades of hard-earned contributions. As we mark 90 years since the Social Security Act was signed into law, we honor the promise to ensure this and other vital programs remain intact, not just for today’s seniors, but for our children and grandchildren who will one day rely on them.”
The resolution was co-sponsored by Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), Mike Lawler (NY-17), Zach Nunn (IA-03), and Claudia Tenney (NY-22).
The Social Security Act was enacted on August 14, 1935, establishing a social insurance program that provides retired workers aged 65 or older with ongoing income after retirement.
The full text of the resolution is available online.
