September will be a big month for seniors and people who get money from the Social Security Administration (SSA). Starting on September 3, the SSA will have to raise the amounts it gives out.
What is the new Social Security increase
People who get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will gain from this increase. The SSA says the rise could be as high as $943, which is a number that has never been seen before.
The amount will go up to $1,415 for a person who is qualified and their spouse. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program is for people with serious disabilities who have trouble making ends meet and taking care of themselves.
It has been important for many agencies to make changes because of the financial crisis in the United States. Social Security will depend on the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) as an example of one of these changes.
According to the Senior Citizens League (TSCL), there will be a 2.6% rise, which will show up in the following ways:
- 62 years: U$D 1332.01
- 67 years: U$D 1603.70
- 70 years: U$D 2090.52
What is the purpose of the Senior Citizens League (TSCL)?
TSCL fights for the rights and perks of seniors. This neutral group helps older Americans learn, stay safe, and speak out. It helps members and promotes them while protecting the freedoms they have worked so hard for. The league’s job is to look out for the interests of seniors and protect the rights they have earned.
TSCL is a group of busy upper-age people. They want to keep their income from Social Security, Medicare, and the military.
The organization aims to:
- Raise awareness and educate the public.
- Spread information about legislation before Congress.
- Recruit seniors for grassroots lobbying on issues affecting retirees.
- Ensure the government honors its commitments to seniors.
TSCL speaks up for seniors on Capitol Hill and in the news. In order to improve access to health care, lower drug costs, increase benefits for Social Security, and address other important issues affecting older Americans, they push for changes in policy. Their work includes fighting for tax cuts and other important problems that affect older people.
The group polls seniors, like the annual Retirement Survey, to find out what problems are most important to people who get Social Security or Medicare. Then, these results tell TSCL what laws to push for.
TSCL only gets money from gifts; it doesn’t take any money from the government. In this way, the group can keep being an independent citizens’ action group.
