Council of Seniors Wants Holidays to Be Meaningful
Here at Council of Seniors, we know getting Congress to pass The SAVE Benefits Act can make holiday times less stressful. This bill will help bridge the gap created by inadequate Social Security cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) in several recent years. If we succeed, seniors will be reimbursed the $581 that should have been included all along.
