Congress.gov lists De La Cruz as a 06/30/2023 cosponsor; H.R.875's latest action was referral to the Social Security Subcommittee.
Assessments
De La Cruz materially supported a Social Security-related enacted outcome by cosponsoring H.R.82, the Social Security Fairness Act, which became Public Law 118-273. That is enough for partial credit on the Social Security side of the promise. The broader promise also covered Medicare, and the cited Medicare-and-Social-Security protection bill, H.R.875, did not advance beyond referral, so the combined Medicare plus Social Security commitment was not fully delivered. Because she took concrete legislative steps, the effort badge is warranted.
