Dear Friend,
If you’re like most seniors, your Social Security check doesn’t begin to go far enough.
With an average monthly benefit of just $1,354, too many Social Security beneficiaries view the
end of every month as the time when difficult decisions must be made about which bills to pay
now, and which bills to put off until next month.
That’s why on this Giving Tuesday, I’m asking you to support the Strengthening Social
Security Act (H.R. 2654). This historic legislation will:
-
Give you an additional $800 in Social Security income every year, with bigger checks every month.
-
Improve your annual cost of living adjustment increases and help you keep up with rising costs of day-to-day life.
-
Guarantee your Social Security check for life.
We can’t get this done without you. That’s why I’m asking you to do your part to get this legislation passed.
The sooner we can get Congress to pass the Strengthening Social Security Act, the sooner you can start collecting your bigger Social Security checks.
To make this happen, your Alliance is turning up the heat on Congress. We’ll be going office to office to meet with Senators and Representatives urging them to increase your Social Security benefits, and those of tens of millions of your fellow seniors.
The fact is, one dollar of today’s Social Security benefit is worth just $0.66 compared to what it was worth in 2000. At the same time, the typical expenses of people over 65 have risen by almost 100%.
This can’t go on.
We’re mobilizing all 4.4 million Alliance members for this fight. I hope I can count you among them. Together, we will get this done.
Sincerely,
Richard J. Fiesta
Executive Director
