Dear john,This week, the Social Security Administration announced the 2024 Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for social security recipients. With a 3.2% increase, AARP estimates recipients will receive $59 more per month.While this increase is welcome news for recipients in our community, it's not enough to keep up with rising costs. As families, seniors, and disabled Americans struggle to make ends meet, next year’s modest COLA is a reminder of the need to strengthen Social Security benefits, not cut them.I'm proud to be an original co-sponsor of the Social Security 2100 Act which:Increases benefits in a meaningful way in more than half a centuryImproves the Cost of Living Adjustment, so it reflects the inflation actually experienced by seniorsEnsures no one retires into poverty after a full career of workCuts taxes for 23 million middle-income beneficiariesLifts millions of Americans out of povertyand more, all of which is paid for by ensuring millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share
