Summary
Protect Social Security Benefits Act of 1999 - Amends the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to make it a point of order in the House of Representatives or the Senate to consider any concurrent resolution on the budget that would set forth or cause a Federal budget deficit (excluding social security trust funds receipts and disbursements), unless the Congress declares war or if a joint resolution is enacted under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act) directing the President to modify the most recently issued order for enforcing pay-as-you-go requirements. Provides that if no concurrent resolution on the budget is adopted by September 1 of any year, this Act shall apply to any appropriation bill or joint resolution for that year or any subsequent year. Requires this Act to be waived in the Senate only upon a supermajority vote.
