The Boy Scout motto is “Be Prepared,” but that’s a trait many older Americans lose. According to an article by Investopedia, only about one in four retirees say they are equipped to handle an emergency.
The truth is, the financial shock from unexpected medical expenses that Medicaid doesn’t cover, as well as housing-related costs, can easily upset your retirement plans. That’s why we must protect Social Security and ensure it’s around for everyone who relies on this vital program.
Council of Seniors Wants to Support Older Americans
The Council of Seniors wants to help seniors in financial need. We are working hard to get Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. This crucial bill will put $581 back in retirees’ pockets to make up for Social Security cost-of-living adjustments that were far too low for years.
Sign our petition today to support our efforts. Congress has ignored the growing number of seniors expecting action for way too long.
