Commission on Sustaining Medicare and Social Security Act of 2026

This bill would create an 11-member Commission on Sustaining Medicare and Social Security in the legislative branch. Within one year of its first meeting, the commission would send Congress a report on Social Security retirement and disability benefits and Medicare, including the effects of using other inflation indexes such as the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly, other Medicare premium formulas, program changes to keep the programs funded, and steps to reduce fraud and improper payments. The President would appoint 3 members, and House and Senate majority and minority leaders would each appoint 2 outside experts. Members would serve without pay, and the commission would end within 60 days after submitting its report. The bill authorizes $2,000,000 to carry out the law.
