Introduced legislation: On July 17, 2025, Sanders introduced the "Pensions for All Act" to address the retirement crisis in the U.S..
Aims to guarantee retirement benefits: The bill aims to guarantee retirement benefits to millions of Americans who currently lack workplace retirement plans.
Requires corporate action or federal system contribution: The Act would require corporations to either provide a traditional pension plan similar to the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) or contribute to a federal retirement system to ensure comparable benefits.
Builds on Social Security Expansion Act: This bill complements Sanders' existing Social Security Expansion Act, which seeks to increase Social Security benefits and ensure the program's long-term solvency.
