Given the astronomical costs often faced by people living with disabilities and older adults struggling in poverty, the proposed Supplemental Security Income Restoration Act of 2024 aims to provide a much-needed increase in federal SSI benefits to help recipients afford basic necessities such as food, shelter, healthcare and other essential expenses. Furthermore, this critical legislation would index these boosted benefit levels to inflation, ensuring their long-term viability in lifting vulnerable populations out of destitution. By strengthening this crucial financial safety net, we can fulfill our moral obligation to protect the dignity and wellbeing of society's most disadvantaged members. I strongly urge you to support the passage of the Supplemental Security Income Restoration Act to address economic hardship and enable a decent quality of life for those in dire need.
