The Supplemental Security Income Restoration Act proposes increasing federal benefits for individuals with disabilities and seniors who rely on Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This much-needed reform would raise benefit levels that have remained stagnant for decades, failing to keep pace with inflation and the rising cost of living. By increasing these vital payments, we can help lift millions out of deep poverty and provide a more dignified quality of life for our most vulnerable citizens who face immense barriers and economic hardship through no fault of their own. Passing this legislation is an opportunity to reaffirm our nation's commitment to supporting those in need and upholding basic standards of decency and compassion. I urge you to cosponsor and advocate for the Supplemental Security Income Restoration Act's passage.
