# Protecting and Preserving Social Security Act Summary **What It Would Do** This bill, currently under review in the Senate, would protect Social Security benefits from being reduced.

It could also affect working Americans through potential changes to payroll taxes or other funding mechanisms, depending on the specific provisions included in the final bill. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it's in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate.
