DO YOU CARE ABOUT THE FUTURE OF

SOCIAL SECURITY?


Should Social Security grants and COLAS be adjusted to reflect the cost of living?
Should the Windfall Exemption and Government Pension Offset be repealed?
Should it be easier to talk with someone at the SS Administration?
SHOULD WE KEEP THE SOCIAL SECURITY TRUST FUND FULLY FUNDED SO YOU AND FUTURE BENEFICIARIES CAN RECEIVE FULL BENEFITS BY ELIMINATING THE CAP ON TAXABLE EARNED COME?

There is a bill in Congress – HR 5723, the Social Security 2100 Act sponsored by Congressman Larsen. Join experts Nancy Altman (Social Security Works) and Rep. Larsen to learn more about this legislation and how you can help get it passed.

In California, Senator Nancy Skinner has introduced a resolution – SJR 11 – that would put the California legislature on record to support HR 5723 and urges all CA Congressmembers to vote for it. This bill has passed the state Senate and is moving to the Assembly. We need your help to get this passed quickly.
