BIGGER Social Security Benefits (They Promised)
BIGGER Social Security Benefits (They Promised)
Why this petition matters
President Biden PROMISED to increase social security benefits, while campaigning in 2020. Let's HOLD him to his promise and reach 1 millions petition signatures here, so they can no longer ignore seniors who deserve so much more. I ask that you share this with everyone you know so we can attain the support that we need, in order make our voice so loud, that congress can no longer ignore it! Thank you in advance for your time and support!
Key promises made by Biden:
Minimum Benefit at 125% of federal poverty level
Larger COLA increases by adjusting the formula used
Larger payments for widows ( on average 20% increase)
Larger payments for seniors on social security for 20+ years (5% increase)
To pay for those higher benefits, Biden would apply Social Security payroll taxes to those making $400,000 and up- i.e. increase taxes on the wealthy.
