This bill proposes to amend Title II of the Social Security Act by implementing a means-test for specific child's insurance benefits. Under the proposed change, a child aged 18 or older would no longer qualify as a "full-time elementary or secondary school student" for benefit purposes under certain conditions. Specifically, these benefits would cease if the child's entitlement is based on a parent who is 67 years of age or older , receives old-age or disability insurance benefits, and has annual earnings exceeding $125,000 . This measure aims to restrict Social Security benefits for adult children of higher-income senior beneficiaries, applying to benefits paid for any month beginning after the bill's enactment.
