In 2013, AMAC—The Association of Mature American Citizens—took a big step with the creation of the AMAC Foundation, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit entity designed to serve Americans. The Foundation’s mission is to help protect and ensure the financial security, health, and social lives of current and future mature Americans, and to help Americans navigate the bewildering array of decisions they need to make.
The Foundation’s projects and plans include providing factual information that improves understanding of the positive value of Social Security and Medicare and the current and long-term challenges these programs face, as well as providing interpretations by Certified Social Security Advisors through AMAC publications, workshops, webinars, podcasts, and telephone support.
In addition, the Foundation serves all Americans in a variety of capacities, including provision of a source of education on the principles of American Free Enterprise, long-term retirement financial planning, and preparing for life—and potential employment—after retirement.

Why is this never a discussion with our current elected officials. No one talks about current seniors, disabled or retired beneficiaries who depend on social security benefits for survival. It is always about the future of social security. I really don’t believe social security will not be available to future beneficiaries. What about the current beneficiaries. Current beneficiaries are struggling. The cost of required goods and services have increased. With no COLA increases our livelihood is in jeopardy. I think an annual COLA should be put in place or their should be a reduction in medicare premiums each year there in no COLA. I beginning to believe that once you retired and go social security the government begin to write you off. The majority of social security beneficiaries are retired citizens who worked for many years. They looked forward to retirement whether at the minimum or full retirement age. I believe retired citizens should be able to depend on the government to provide at the very minimum a annual COLA increase. This annual COLA increase should be put in place when the CPI indicates there has not been a significant increase in inflation to suggest a COLA. I don’t think this is asking to much of our government. We need support and help.
