Senate Budget Committee chairman Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and his colleagues welcomed two panels to Capitol Hill today to host a range of discussions on Social Security. The first featured Social Security Administration (SSA) Commissioner Martin O'Malley, focusing on the Administrations budget proposal for Fiscal Year 2025 and some of his accomplishments in the position. The second panel saw a group of experts join the committee to discus the preservation of Social Security forever and what needs to be done to strengthen America's retirement security.

Our Fact Checker Says FactCheck.Org Missed the Bigger Picture on Trump, Social Security & Medicare

Late last month, FactCheck.org published an article titled 'FactChecking Vice President Kamala Harris' which included misleading claims on the two presidential candidates and their stances on Social Security and Medicare.
