Dear John,

JUST ANNOUNCED: Next year’s 8.7% Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) is welcome news for many older Americans struggling to afford the soaring cost of housing, food, gas and out-of-pocket health care expenses.

While this year’s 8.7% COLA is the largest percentage increase in 41 years, it doesn’t make up for decades of record low or zero COLAs which have continued to erode seniors’ purchasing power. Retirees across America consistently tell us that their annual COLAs are simply not adequate.

Due to soaring inflation, many older Americans have been forced to scale back or simply forgo their basic needs because their monthly benefit check does not stretch far enough.

The health and financial security of millions of older Americans depends on getting a fair and accurate COLA every year. So please support our advocacy efforts in Washington, DC to improve the COLA today!

Bottom line, it shouldn’t take soaring inflation to give seniors a fair COLA!

Sincerely,

Max Richtman
President & CEO
