Poverty is a problem that plagues people from all walks of life. But in some cases, it’s extra hard to deal with.

As individuals age, they often face increased expenses related to healthcare, housing, and daily living. Social Security benefits help alleviate financial burdens and ensure that seniors have a reliable source of income.

Social Security plays a vital role in reducing senior poverty by providing financial support to seniors during their retirement years. It pulls over 16,000,000 seniors up above the poverty line. By receiving regular payments, older individuals can afford basic necessities, maintain their independence, and access necessary healthcare services.

Furthermore, Social Security enables seniors to retire with dignity and comfort, allowing them to enjoy their later years without the constant worry of financial instability. It is essential to prioritize adequate support for seniors, ensuring they can live their lives with the security and well-being they deserve.
