    This title may be cited as the ``Protecting and Preserving the 
Social Security Trust Funds Act''.

SEC. 202. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) the $69,246,000,000 unified budget surplus achieved in 
        fiscal year 1998 was entirely due to surpluses generated by the 
        social security trust funds and the cumulative unified budget 
        surpluses projected for subsequent fiscal years are primarily 
        due to surpluses generated by the social security trust funds;
            (2) Congress and the President should not use the social 
        security trust funds surpluses to balance the budget or fund 
        existing or new non-social security programs;
            (3) all surpluses generated by the social security trust 
        funds must go towards saving and strengthening the social 
        security system; and
            (4) at least 62 percent of the on-budget (non-social 
        security) surplus should be reserved and applied to the social 
        security trust funds.

SEC. 203. PROTECTION OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUNDS.

    (a) Protection by Congress.--
            (1) Reaffirmation of support.--Congress reaffirms its 
        support for the provisions of section 13301 of the Budget 
        Enforcement Act of 1990 that provides that the receipts and 
        disbursements of the social security trust funds shall not be 
        counted for the purposes of the budget submitted by the 
        President, the congressional budget, or the Balanced Budget and 
        Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
            (2) Protection of social security benefits.--Balances in 
        the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the 
        Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund shall be used solely 
        for paying social security benefit payments as promised to be 
        paid by law.
    (b) Points of Order.--Section 301 of the Congressional Budget Act 
of 1974 is amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(j) Social Security Point of Order.--It shall not be in order in 
the Senate to consider a concurrent resolution on the budget, an 
amendment thereto, or a conference report thereon that violates section 
13301 of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990.
    ``(k) Social Security Surplus Protection Point of Order.--It shall 
not be in order in the Senate to consider a concurrent resolution on 
the budget, an amendment thereto, or a conference report thereon 
that would cause or increase an on-budget deficit for any fiscal year.

            ``(1) In general.--It shall not be in order in the Senate

                reported;
                    ``(B) the adoption and enactment of that amendment; 
                or
                    ``(C) the enactment of the bill or resolution in 
                the form recommended in the conference report;
        would cause or increase an on-budget deficit for any fiscal 
        year.
            ``(2)  Exception to point of order.--This subsection shall 
        not apply to social security reform legislation that would 
        protect the social security system from insolvency and preserve 
        benefits as promised to beneficiaries.''.
    (c) Supermajority Waiver and Appeal.--Subsections (c)(1) and (d)(2) 
of section 904 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 are amended by

        Government as submitted by the President or of the surplus or 
        deficit totals of the congressional budget; and

     Title I: Elimination of Social Security Earnings Test 
     Title II:  Protecting and Preserving the Social Security 
          Trust Funds 
Title I: Elimination of Social Security Earnings Test
 - Older Americans Freedom to Work Act - Amends title II (Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance) (OASDI) of the Social Security Act to remove the limitation on the amount of outside income which beneficiaries who have attained retirement age may earn (earnings test) without incurring a reduction in benefits. 
Title II: Protecting and Preserving the Social Security Trust Funds
 - Protecting and Preserving the Social Security Trust Funds Act - Declares that Congress reaffirms its support for section 13301 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, which provides that the receipts and disbursements of the Social Security Trust Funds shall not be counted for the purposes of the budget submitted by the President, the congressional budget, or the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act). 
(Sec. 203) Amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to declare out of order in the Senate consideration of any concurrent resolution on the budget (or an amendment or a conference report on the resolution) that violates section 13301 of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990. 
Provides a point of order in the Senate against consideration of any concurrent budget resolution (or an amendment or a conference report on the resolution) that would cause or increase an on-budget deficit for any fiscal year. 
Makes it out of order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report if the enactment of the reported bill or resolution, the adoption and enactment of an amendment, or the enactment of a bill or resolution in the form recommended in the conference report would cause or increase an on-budget deficit for any fiscal year.  Makes such point of order inapplicable to social security reform legislation that would protect the social security system from insolvency and preserve benefits as promised to beneficiaries. 
Authorizes a waiver or suspension in the Senate of points of order under this title only with a three-fifths majority.  Requires the same majority to sustain an appeal on a ruling on such points of order. 
(Sec. 204) Requires any official Federal Government statement of the Federal or congressional budget surplus or deficit totals to exclude the outlays and receipts of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund under title II of the Social Security Act and related provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.  Requires such outlays and receipts to be submitted in separate social security budget documents. 
(Sec. 205) Requires the President's budget to comply with certain congressional budget rules. 
Title III: Saving Social Security First
 - Requires that specified amounts, from non-social security on-budget surpluses, for FY 2001 through 2009, be transferred to the social security trust funds, in addition to the surpluses in those Funds. 
(Sec. 302) Expresses the sense of the Senate that, if the budget surplus in future years is greater than the currently projected surplus, serious consideration should be given to directing more of the surplus to strengthening the social security trust funds.
