Senior Security Alliance is standing up for senior citizens’ right to financial security. We are doing this through working to pass The Senior Citizens Bill of Rights. This groundbreaking piece of legislation guarantees essential rights to senior citizens that ensure their financial security.

The first right declares “Social Security is an earned benefit and can never be cut.”

Why is this Important?

For many senior citizens, Social Security benefits is a major source of income. According to this Fact Sheet from ssa.gov, these benefits represent around 33% of the income for seniors. 33% is a very large portion of their income. If benefits are cut, it would have detrimental effects on their livelihood.

Additionally, Social Security is an earned benefit. Those who receive benefits do so after years of hard work. They have put their earnings into the Social Security program, investing in their future retirement by funding the current retirees.

Over the next few weeks we will continue to take a look at this groundbreaking bill and the rights that all seniors need guaranteed.

In the meantime, we are asking for your help.
