AARP Says We Strongly Object | Congress Wants to Change Social Security. retirementsavings [VgBNZlrxwBZ]
One week ago — AARP sent a letter to Congress with four words: "We strongly object." What is the PROMISE Act? Why is AARP fighting it? And what does it mean for your Social Security check? The 2026 Social Security Trustees Report confirmed the retirement trust fund could be depleted by Q4 2032 — triggering an automatic 22% benefit cut. That is -$456/month on the average benefit of $2,071. The PROMISE Act — introduced July 14, 2026 — proposes a fast-track process to fix Social Security before that happens. AARP formally objected on July 21. Your benefits today are unchanged. But the debate is happening NOW.
