House Joint Resolution No. [insert number] is a legislative request from the Montana Senate and House of Representatives urging the federal Congress and Executive Branch to enhance and secure Social Security and the Social Security Trust Fund for both current and future generations. The resolution highlights the significant role Social Security plays in the lives of Montanans, providing benefits to over 250,000 residents and lifting many elderly individuals out of poverty. It addresses common misconceptions about the program's financial stability, emphasizing that Social Security is funded through current revenues and has a substantial surplus dedicated solely to its benefits.

The resolution calls for Congress to increase funding for Social Security without implementing any cuts, ensuring that benefits can be maintained for the next 75 years and beyond. It also emphasizes the importance of bipartisan cooperation in securing these benefits, reflecting on the program's historical reliability over the past 90 years. Additionally, the resolution mandates that a copy be sent to key federal officials, including the President and members of the Montana Congressional Delegation, to advocate for the necessary actions to protect Social Security.
