   Affirming the legislative intent under the Social Security Act to 
provide for increases in old-age insurance benefits with due regard to 
                    increases in the cost of living.

    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled,
That it is hereby affirmed that, as intended by the reforms to the Old 
Age Insurance Program of title II of the Social Security Act enacted in 
1977 and thereafter, individuals born after 1916 and receiving benefits 
under such program after the enactment of such reforms have received 
and continue to receive such benefits at rates not less than rates 
which are consistent with the policies intended at the time of the 
enactment of the cost-of-living adjustment provisions of such program 
in 1972, and benefits under such program continue to be determined 
under a benefit formula which increases benefits with due regard to 
increases in the cost of living.
