Social Security and Medicare Lock-Box Act

This bill creates special protection accounts within the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. When these trust funds have extra money left over each year, the Treasury Secretary must move that surplus money into the new protection accounts. The money in these accounts cannot be invested in anything other than U.S. government securities unless a future law allows different investments. The bill also creates a commission to study what other investment options might work best for these trust funds.
