Introduced 2026-09-24Topic: laborSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would end the federal government's authority to collect debts owed to federal agencies by withholding part of a person's Social Security, Railroad Retirement, Railroad Unemployment Insurance, or Black Lung benefits, a process called administrative offset. It would declare the related parts of federal debt-collection law void under the Social Security Act and remove them from Title 31 of the U.S. Code. The same protection would be extended to railroad retirement and railroad unemployment benefits. The changes would apply to any offset collected on or after the date the law takes effect, including for debts that arose before that date.
