That’s why I’m asking you to
sign our urgent Petition to Congress today, putting pressure on
Congress to act without delay to pass U.S. Representative Peter DeFazio’s (OR-04) emergency bill,
H.R. 8598, that would give Social Security beneficiaries a 3% COLA in 2021.
This important bill would be a critical first step in fixing the current COLA formula which is woefully inadequate for calculating the true impact of inflation on seniors’ wallets. It especially
under-represents the rising costs that retirees pay for expenses like health care, prescription drugs, food and housing.
