Time and time again, Republicans like Senator Rick Scott have announced plans to phase out Social Security, putting some of our seniors at risk of losing their only source of income. This is unacceptable. Social Security is a critical program our seniors have paid into their entire lives, and they’ve earned the support it provides.
In Congress, Eric will not only oppose any legislation that threatens Social Security but will fight to improve it by increasing benefits across the board, improving benefits for widows and widowers so they are no longer penalized for having two incomes, repealing the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset so benefits are no longer reduced for public servants like our teachers, ending the 5-month waiting period, provide caregiver credits, and extending Social Security dependent benefits.
