  + stars: | 2023-09-26 | by ( Lorie Konish | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Washington lawmakers are scrambling to pass a spending bill before an Oct. 1 deadline. For retirees who rely on Social Security and Medicare, the good news is those programs will mostly be unaffected because they are considered mandatory spending. "Checks will continue to go out," Bill Sweeney, senior vice president of government affairs at AARP, said of Social Security benefits. "Most seniors should be fine, both on the Medicare side and on the Social Security side," said Maria Freese, senior legislative representative at the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. If a shutdown happens this time around, it may be brief, according to Bill Hoagland, senior vice president at the Bipartisan Policy Center.

☆ As lawmakers warn of a Social Security 'shutdown,' here's how the debt ceiling may affect benefits
  + stars: | 2023-05-11 | by ( Lorie Konish | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Amid a stalemate on federal debt ceiling negotiations, some government officials are warning the Social Security checks sent to more than 65 million beneficiaries each month could be at risk. On Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., warned a "Social Security shutdown" could happen if the U.S. defaults on its debt. The debt ceiling is the maximum amount of money the U.S. government can borrow. The pressure is on Congress to raise or suspend the debt limit before the emergency funding runs out. "Part of the challenge here is that this is unprecedented," said Maria Freese, senior legislative representative at the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.

But that should not include cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits, he said. "I've got 60% of my population that that's all they have is Medicare and Social Security," Manchin told NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

☆ Public servants like teachers and police often get reduced Social Security. Congress is weighing a bill that could change that

Monkeybusinessimages | Istock | Getty ImagesMillions of Americans may receive reduced Social Security benefits if they worked in public roles as teachers, firefighters, police or government workers. "There just aren't that many legislative days left," said Maria Freese, senior legislative representative at the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. Why public servants encounter reduced Social SecurityThe Social Security Fairness Act calls for repealing two titles of the Social Security Act that reduce or eliminate benefits for Americans who work in public service — the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset. The Social Security Fairness Act would fully repeal both rules, thus making benefits more generous for those affected. 82 would need offsets not to have a huge financial impact on the Social Security trust funds, and it doesn't provide that," Sprick said.
