Social Security Amendments

The Social Security Amendments refer to laws passed to update and improve the Social Security program, which provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits. These amendments often expand coverage, increase benefits, adjust eligibility rules, or fund the program more sustainably. Essentially, they aim to ensure the system remains financially secure and continues to support eligible individuals throughout their retirement or in case of disability. Over time, these amendments respond to changing economic conditions, demographic shifts, and the needs of beneficiaries, helping to maintain the program’s effectiveness and reliability.
