GuideStone, ERLC applaud
House passage of Clergy Act
DALLAS (GuideStone) — GuideStone Financial Resources and the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission Monday (April 27) welcomed passage of the Clergy Act by the U.S. House of Representatives. The Clergy Act is a bipartisan measure that would provide a temporary, voluntary opportunity for ministers who previously opted out of Social Security to opt back in. The House passed the Clergy Act 350-5. The legislation now moves to the U.S. Senate for consideration. The Clergy Act would create a two-year window beginning in 2029 that would allow eligible ministers who have opted out of Social Security to revoke their exemption and begin contributing. Ministers must still meet the standard 10-year contribution requirement to earn full retired-worker benefits, receiving benefits proportional to their contributions. The bill would require both the Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration to submit a plan to Congress outlining their strategy to inform ministers of their eligibility to re-enroll.
