This email is from subscription.service@subscriptions.ssa.gov. I have NEVER signed up to receive emails from the Social Security Administration save for invoices. For an administration that is set to run out of money and have to cut benefits by 2033, it's REALLY impressive they found money to push PARTISAN SPAM. I am ABSOLUTELY fucking disgusted right now. I've reached out to my representatives about this. As normal I expect they won't message anything back.

The email states:

The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits.

Social Security Applauds Passage of Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors

The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.

The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy.

“This is a historic step forward for America’s seniors,” said Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano. “For nearly 90 years, Social Security has been a cornerstone of economic security for older Americans. By significantly reducing the tax burden on benefits, this legislation reaffirms President Trump’s promise to protect Social Security and helps ensure that seniors can better enjoy the retirement they’ve earned."

The new law includes a provision that eliminates federal income taxes on Social Security benefits for most beneficiaries, providing relief to individuals and couples. Additionally, it provides an enhanced deduction for taxpayers aged 65 and older, ensuring that retirees can keep more of what they have earned.

Social Security remains committed to providing timely, accurate information to the public and will continue working closely with federal partners to ensure beneficiaries understand how this legislation may affect them.

They are hoping seniors won't notice. The "One Big Beautiful Bill" gives a temporary tax deduction for seniors over 65 until 2028, but this is mostly twisted words. It won't wipe out taxes on Social Security for everyone. If you're under 65 or making too much, good luck getting any relief at all.

To clarify, you're stating that the information from the Social Security Administration is false. Oh I know that. Thank you for the link though. The SSA has NO BUSINESS sending these kinds of emails is my point. I absolutely am against the shit Trump is doing. But this email is an abuse of my email and abuse of the tax payer money I put into a system running out of money.

I received this as well. Meanwhile, I have been waiting to hear back on an appeal to a denial for more than half a year now. I first applied over two years ago, but they "lost" my application twice before getting around to denying it (SSDI).

Sure would be nice if they put this time into real work.

I'm sure they'd tell you that you're a free loader and you'd just waste it on booze and xboxes and things. So they'll spend the money to email you to tell you what a great job dictator trump is doi g instead.

Might want to remove your email at the bottom of the text.
