A group of House Republicans is making a rare move that would force a vote on a bill to reform aspects of Social Security .

The bill enjoys support from more than 100 House Republicans , and almost four dozen have signed a discharge petition to force consideration of the bill.

While the maneuver is not uncommon in the House , it’s rarely successful, as members must gather at least 218 signatures.

Majority Leader Steve Scalise ’s office confirmed plans to bring the legislation up for consideration in November .

The push comes months after Rep. Greg Steube (R-Fla.) garnered attention when his discharge petition for a disaster tax relief bill became the first in years to amass 218 signatures.
