Trump celebrated the 91st anniversary of the Social Security Act, which was first signed by Roosevelt. Trump highlighted his own efforts to protect the program, including the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, which stopped the federal government from taxing Social Security benefits.
This tax change helped more than 35 million seniors keep more of their checks. On average, these households saved about $7,500 during the last tax season. The administration says this is the largest tax break ever for older Americans.
To keep the program strong, the administration is also cracking down on fraud. Trump signed a memo to make sure undocumented immigrants cannot receive benefits. This ensures the money is saved for citizens who worked and paid into the system.
The message also promises to continue working on lowering the costs of daily needs like medicine and healthcare. The goal is to make sure every senior can afford a stable and dignified life after they retire.
