Council of Seniors Wants You to Enjoy Retirement

Retirement should be as worry-free as possible, which is why Council of Seniors is dedicated to getting Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. This bill is necessary to make up for insufficient Social Security cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) over a series of years, which withheld $581 from seniors. This bill will ensure that the money is returned.

Signing our petition right away is the best first step you can take. Let’s show Washington politicians this bill must be a high priority.  We’ll truly appreciate your help in returning this money to seniors.
