Council of Seniors is working hard to pass The Social Security Restitution Act. This is a gaming changing piece of legislation that issues retired workers a $970 check to make up for years of inadequate cost-of-living adjustments.
For too long, politicians slashed COLAs – or even took them away altogether – forcing retirees to live on monthly benefits that were well below annual inflation rates or failing to keep up with rising costs.
“Every retiree who paid into this system for decades deserves a Social Security benefit that reflects their real cost of living,” Barbara Godwin, Executive Director of Council of Seniors added. “We’re calling on Congress to stand up for the millions of seniors who have been shortchanged, and we’re ready to work with any member who wants to lead on this issue.”
We say enough is enough.
The financial security of millions of retirees is paramount. Council of Seniors has launched massive nationwide petition drives, voter surveys, and legislative initiatives. Our work is having a real impact in Washington – and it’s all thanks to the support and assistance of citizens from across America.
Washington politicians must not be allowed to continue walking over retirees and using Social Security to finance wasteful government spending sprees.
Please, join us in this journey to pass The Social Security Restitution Act.
One of the most important ways to help support this legislation is by signing a petition to Congress, spreading the word with your friends and neighbors and by contacting your members of Congress.
