Val Hoyle Advocates for Social Security Expansion Act to Increase Benefits

Social Security and Medicare as Lifelines

• 📌 Seniors in Representative Hoyle's district are scared because Social Security and Medicare are perceived as lifelines, not luxuries.
• 💡 These are earned benefits, not handouts, and are currently at risk due to staffing cuts impacting the agency's ability to function.

The Social Security Expansion Act

• 🚀 Representative Val Hoyle, alongside Representative Shicowski, Senator Sanders, and Senator Warren, introduced the Social Security Expansion Act (S.393).
• 💰 This bill aims to increase the Social Security benefit by over $2,400 per year.
• 📈 It also proposes to extend the program's solvency by 75 years.
• ✅ Crucially, the act would achieve these expansions without costing 91% of Americans an extra cent.

Protecting Future Generations

• 💬 The act is presented as a duty to protect the promise of Social Security for seniors who built the country.
• 🌱 It also aims to ensure future generations receive the same dignity in retirement.
