Many American seniors rely on Social Security to cover the costs of basic living expenses like rent, groceries, or healthcare. However, Social Security needs to change to meet the needs of today’s retirees. Unsurprisingly, what retirees most want to see change is the amount they receive. That’s because higher benefits could boost purchasing power and lead to long-term positive outcomes.

According to CNBC, Congress is considering changes that would boost benefits for some seniors. Many Social Security beneficiaries receive benefits that, on their own, put them below the federal poverty line. However, for so many seniors, their benefits are a crucial part of their retirement plan.

NORA is asking Congress to make seniors a priority by passing The Guaranteed 3% COLA for Seniors Act. Retirees can help by calling on Congress to make the change that Social Security beneficiaries need. We also invite you to sign our online petition and follow NORA on Twitter and Facebook today!
