This bill would end the Social Security retirement earnings test, which reduces benefits for people who receive Social Security before full retirement age while still earning income from work. It repeals the parts of the Social Security Act that withhold benefits on account of work and updates related sections, including how wages are defined for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). It also repeals similar deductions on account of work under the Railroad Retirement program. The changes would apply to taxable years ending after December 31, 2026.
