Congress must pass the Elder Relief Act. This vital legislation would positively impact the older Americans who gave so much for this country. American seniors can not wait much longer. It’s time!
Older Americans are Struggling
Many in this country have been struggling since the Covid-19 Pandemic turned our world upside down. In the last few years, inflation impacted us all, but members of The Greatest Generation often suffer the worst. With the high costs of healthcare, rising prescription prices, and Medicare premiums for seniors, this group has been hit especially hard.
The Elder Relief Act Would Stimulate Change
There is proposed legislation that could help turn things around for American seniors. A bill we call the Elder Relief Act would change the way Social Security benefits impact the lives of seniors. This legislation would provide an immediate boost to benefits for Americans over the age of 82. Furthermore, it would guarantee a significant increase every year after. Learn more about our efforts to pass this bill into law here.
Will Congress Do the Right Thing?
As clear as it may seem that America’s seniors need this legislation, Congress has failed up to this point to take the needed steps. While they may feel like there are more important things to focus on, the fact is that Americans are suffering and need help. Will the new 118th Congress step up and do what’s right?
