The text questions the Social Security income a congressman could receive.
Infact verdict: True (92/100).
The claim that a congressman could receive Social Security income is accurate. Since 1984, all Members of Congress have been required to pay Social Security taxes and are eligible for Social Security benefits like any other worker. This is confirmed by multiple sources, including a Congressional Research Service report and statements from U.S. Senators and Representatives debunking myths about congressional benefits. Therefore, the claim is factual.
