Representatives Gus Bilirakis, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, and Anna Paulina Luna introduced the Permanent Tax Relief for Seniors Act, which would make permanent the $6,000 Social Security tax deduction for seniors and eliminate the sunset provision so seniors can rely on that relief for years to come.

Concrete legislative action on Social Security-related senior tax relief during the current term, but not a completed change to Social Security or Medicare solvency.

Bilirakis said the FY2026 House spending package included the Senior Savings Protection Act, which reauthorizes programs under the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act and extends $30 million in federal funding through December 31, 2027, helping low-income Medicare beneficiaries access counseling, education, and enrollment assistance.

Official statement of a Medicare-supporting funding extension that aids beneficiaries, but it does not establish long-term Medicare viability or a final enacted solution.

The House press release index shows a Bilirakis release titled 'Bilirakis Reintroduces the Promoting Fairness for Medicare Providers Act to Protect Patient Access to Quality Care,' indicating continuing Medicare-related legislative activity within the lookback period.

Index-level evidence of ongoing Medicare legislative work; useful as effort evidence, but insufficient by itself to show enactment or durable long-term viability.

Bilirakis said he is running for re-election in 2026 and remains committed to results-driven leadership, including policies to lower costs, reduce burdensome taxes and regulations, and secure a brighter future for seniors, veterans, and families.
