We Want Your Finances to Be Healthier
You’re entitled to every dollar you worked hard for before your retirement. That’s why Council of Seniors is pushing Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act. This law is necessary because the annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) has proved inadequate in recent years. It short-changed seniors by the amount of $581. If this bill passes, that money will be returned.
Sign our petition to join the growing number of Americans who want Congress to take action now! With your active participation, we’ll succeed in returning this money to seniors.
