Section 215(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Social Security Act is amended by striking '90 percent' and inserting '95 percent'... With respect to computations or recomputations of primary insurance amounts made on or after January 1, 2032... the amount... shall be increased... for calendar year 2047 and each year thereafter, 15 percent.

The bill would increase Social Security primary insurance amount calculations by raising the first bend point factor and increasing the first bend point over time, with recomputations beginning in 2032.

Evidence

The official House site says Rep. Linda T. Sánchez introduced the Strengthening Social Security Act on June 11, 2026, describing it as a bill to increase Social Security benefits, ensure cost-of-living adjustments reflect seniors' real expenses, and improve the trust fund's long-term condition.

Concrete legislative action toward higher Social Security benefits; not enacted, so this is partial delivery rather than full fulfillment.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Rep. Linda T. Sánchez took concrete legislative action by introducing the Strengthening Social Security Act in June 2026 to raise Social Security benefits and improve COLA calculations. But the evidence provided shows proposal and advocacy, not enactment or an actual increase in monthly benefits for current and future retirees. Under the rule that a serious attempt without successful delivery counts as never, this promise is best scored as not fulfilled, with effort credit.
