Celebrating the 90th Anniversary of the Enactment of the Social Security Act
In a historic proclamation made on August 14, 2025, President Donald J. Trump marked the 90th Anniversary of the Social Security Act. This landmark legislation, signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 14, 1935, aimed to protect seniors, uplift citizens, and sustain the livelihoods of hardworking Americans.
The proclamation reaffirms the commitment to preserving and strengthening the Social Security system. Measures are being taken to stop payments to the deceased and eliminate benefits for those who do not legally qualify. Strong border security policies are being restored to ensure that Medicare and Social Security are preserved for citizens who paid into them.
The Administration is working to root out fraud, waste, and abuse in Social Security to save American taxpayers billions of dollars annually. The proclamation also reaffirms the commitment to protecting programs like Social Security and Medicare against fraud and abuse, and to ensuring income security for future generations of American citizens.
The Social Security Administration is being made more efficient, responsive, and effective to reduce wait times and deliver earned payments. The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill last month exempts the vast majority of seniors from tax on their Social Security benefits, providing a significant tax break for seniors—the largest in the history of the country.
The proclamation is made under the authority vested in the President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States. It is made on the 250th anniversary of the Independence of the United States of America, and in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five. The proclamation also reaffirms the commitment to strengthening the retirement system, and to preventing illegal aliens who have no right to be in the country from abusing these programs.
It is important to note that there is no specific reference to a "One Big Beautiful Bill" in the provided search results or well-known historical documents related to the Social Security Act in the United States. However, the Social Security Act itself was enacted on August 14, 1935, during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration as part of the New Deal. If you are referring to a different legislative action or proposal, please provide more context or details.
