         SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS ARE YOUR HARD-EARNED BENEFITS

  (Ms. KAPTUR asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, my message today is an alert for Social 
Security recipients. Pay attention to what billionaire Elon Musk is 
doing with your hard-earned Social Security benefits.
  Musk is coming after your Social Security. The top administrator of 
the Social Security administration says that Musk's DOGE boys are 
trying to break the system entirely. That will stop your hard-earned 
benefits from reaching seniors and eligible recipients.
  Social Security benefits are your hard-earned benefits. They don't 
belong to billionaire Elon Musk. Americans work hard to earn their 
Social Security retirement and be secure as they

age. Social Security has been around since Franklin Roosevelt created 
the program nearly 100 years ago.
  Social Security accounts are yours, and it is a sacrilege to do 
anything to disturb them. You might think about President Trump; he 
inherited all of his money. He didn't have to work.
  Mr. Speaker, we have to do everything possible to protect Social 
Security for the millions and millions of Americans who deserve those 
earned benefits, and no one should lie about them and say that they are 
in trouble. They are 99.8 percent delivered. They are 99.8 percent 
perfect. It is almost a perfect score. Don't believe what the President 
said down on this floor just a few days ago. We are here to protect 
Social Security benefits.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Members are reminded to direct their remarks 
to the Chair.
