Dear John,

Today few workers have access to private pensions and decades of stagnant wages have made it difficult for American families to set aside money for retirement. And if you’re like most Social Security beneficiaries, you’re feeling the impact of soaring inflation, increasing drug costs and high Medicare Part B premiums.

In fact, today more than half of seniors receive the majority of their income from Social Security in retirement. And without Social Security, almost half of older Americans would live in poverty.

Yet, incredibly, there are some politicians who falsely assert that the only way to “save” Social Security is to privatize it or cut benefits.

Specifically, the SAFE Social Security Act would:

• Increase benefits across the board by an average monthly benefit of $115 and provide a new minimum benefit;
• Improve the Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA);
• Provide caregiver credits and a 5% increase in benefits for older seniors receiving benefits for 20 years; and
• Eliminate the current wait period for disability insurance and surviving spousal benefits.

This bill would also strengthen Social Security’s finances by requiring the wealthy to pay their fair share into the program. To help us pass the SAFE Social Security Act in Congress, please sign our urgent Petition today!

Sincerely,

Max Richtman
