Supplemental Security Income (SSI) provides modest financial assistance to people who are unable to work due to age or disability. But the program's outdated asset limit—$2,000 for individuals and $3,000 for couples—effectively traps people in poverty. It's time to #UpdateSSI!

Many thanks @SenSherrodBrown @SenBillCassidy @RepBrianHiggins and @RepBrianFitz for introducing bipartisan bicameral legislation to #UpdateSSI asset limits! These limits have not been updated in almost 40 years, and haven’t kept pace with inflation

Today, @justiceinaging is remembering and honoring an incredible advocate and human, Judith Heumann. Her impact on disability advocacy and the cause of liberation is immeasurable, as was her work changing hearts and minds. n.pr/3ZLNCG4

Half of older adults experiencing #homelessness became homeless for the first time after 50. New @ASAging blog by @patti_prunhuber @justiceinaging housing attorney puts forth very doable solutions to prevent and end older adult homelessness. bit.ly/3LvCqWF 🧵👇

Excellent article by Jonathan Stein and David Weaver discussing the approximately 500,000 people who would have been awarded SSI and SSDI but were unable to obtain benefits due to the continued closure of SSA field offices during the pandemic. thehill.com/opinion/financ…

Older adults are extremely vulnerable to eviction and both the ongoing affordability crisis and the pandemic-based economic disruption have made it worse. This @big_if_true_ piece does a great job of laying out the issues. bit.ly/3CKEINZ #homelessness🧵👇1/8

Kate Lang retweeted
SSI benefits are far below the poverty line and can be cut if beneficiaries receive help from family & friends, including with basics like groceries. This is archaic. Congress must eliminate “in-kind support” rules in the #BuildBackBetter package. #DemolishDisabledPoverty

We joined @DECLASI & @studentlegalnet in petitioning @usedgov to automatically forgive #StudentLoan #debt for people w/disabilities & older adults who qualify instead of putting insurmountable hurdles in their way. It's a #retirement security issue. bit.ly/3txtfwB
