Ryan has concrete, on-the-record actions showing he fought efforts to cut Social Security benefits while serving in the House. His official congressional page says he introduced the Protecting Social Security Act on August 15, 2024 to prevent future benefit cuts and oppose raising the retirement age, and that he repeatedly voted against Republican cut proposals. His office also states he cosponsored and helped pass the Social Security Fairness Act, which became law on January 5, 2025 and restored full benefits for some public servants. Because the promise was to fight cuts, not singlehandedly solve Social Security overall, these legislative and advocacy steps are sufficient to count as delivered.
