The Social Security Expansion Act - Yahoo!
The Social Security Expansion Act (H.R. 8005) was introduced on June 9th by U.S. Rep Peter DeFazio (D-Ore). The purpose of this bill is to enhance Social Security benefits and ensure the long-term solvency of the Social Security program. Among those benefits is a provision for Social Security recipients to receive an additional $200 per month if the bill wins Congressional approval. Martha Shedden, president of the National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts, states, “$200 a month can make a significant difference for many people.” Vance Cariaga explains how this bill could benefit seniors and changes to the Social Security program.

The Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC) believes Social Security must be preserved and modernized. This can be achieved with no tax increases by changing cost of living adjustments, the retirement age, and delayed credits. AMAC advocates for a bipartisan compromise, “The Social Security Guarantee Act,” taking selected portions of bills introduced by former Rep. Johnson (R-TX) and current Rep. Larson (D-CT) and merging them with the Association’s own research. One component is Social Security PLUS, a voluntary plan to allow all earners to have more income at retirement. This component is intended to appeal especially to younger workers. AMAC is resolute in its mission that Social Security be preserved and modernized and has gotten the attention of lawmakers in DC, meeting with a great many congressional offices and their staffs over the past several years.
