Each month, nearly 67 million Americans receive Social Security benefits. In fact, nearly 9 out of every 10 Americans receive these benefits. Millions of older Americans rely on this income — for a high percentage of them, Social Security benefits make up over 50% of their retirement income. Nearly half of Americans don’t have access to or have no acquired retirement savings, making Social Security vital.
Despite the program’s vast reach, millions of seniors and people with disabilities continue to face financial hardship. We must address this shortcoming as soon as possible and prevent the oncoming retirement crisis.
Biden needs to deliver on his campaign promises and work with Congressional Democrats to expand social security benefits now. Sign today to demand action be taken.
Social Security provides guaranteed income to retired workers and upholds American retirement security. President Biden and Congress need to stand strong against Republican attacks on these vital programs and go one step further: expand Social Security benefits for millions of Americans.
Thank you,
Democratic Values
