Seniors Campaign For New Stimulus Payment

The Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan advocacy organization, is pushing to get a single-time stimulus check of $1400 approved for people who qualify for Social Security. In a letter to Congress the previous year, the group stated that many older Americans who are on fixed incomes will be severely impacted by the cost-of-living increase and inflation.

According to Shannon Benton with the Senior Citizens League, “We have got hundreds of emails from the people struggling to make ends meet.” “For many, the high cost of living adjustment just made their financial problems worse by causing their income to rise above program thresholds to become eligible for Medicare savings programs and additional aid” reports Sun.
