The House site lists June 11, 2026 news saying Sánchez "introduced the Strengthening Social Security Act," describing it as "a bill to increase Social Security benefits, ensure cost-of-living adjustments accurately reflect the real expenses seniors face and improve the long-term financial condition of the trust fund."
