WISER is a Co-chair of the Leadership Council of Aging Organizations’ (LCAO)’s Economic Security Task Force. As an organization, we voiced our concerns regarding efforts to ensure prompt issuance of economic impact payments under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Title II benefits (Social Security), Veterans Disability Compensation, and Veterans Pension benefits, especially on behalf of seniors and people with disabilities who receive SSI.
Read the response from the Commissioner of Social Security to our letter.
