Let some new parents use future Social Security benefits to fund leave

McCormick proposes allowing new and newly adoptive parents to receive up to three months of their Social Security benefits early to finance leave. The option would apply to parents who lack access to paid leave or do not receive their full wages during leave.

Context: Applies to new and newly adoptive parents without access to paid leave or whose leave does not replace 100% of wages.

In their own words

we should allow them to pull forward up to three months of their Social Security benefits to finance it.
