Protect Social Security, ensure long-term solvency and benefits

The Social Security system is a vital safety net that millions of Americans rely on for their livelihood. Recent warnings from a former commissioner that the system could face disruptions in payments within the next 30 to 90 days are deeply concerning. Any interruption or reduction in benefits would have devastating consequences for retirees, individuals with disabilities, and low-income families who depend on these funds to make ends meet. It is imperative that Congress and the administration take immediate action to protect and strengthen Social Security. Cutting benefits or diverting funds away from this crucial program is unacceptable, especially to finance tax breaks for the wealthy. Our priorities must be centered on safeguarding the well-being of vulnerable populations and upholding the promises made to those who have contributed to the system throughout their working lives. We urge you to work collaboratively and across party lines to find sustainable solutions that ensure the long-term solvency of Social Security without compromising the financial security of beneficiaries. This issue demands urgent attention and decisive action to prevent a potential collapse that would have far-reaching consequences for millions of Americans.
