The annual Social Security COLA helps millions of older adults keep up with rising costs and make ends meet. @AARP will never stop fighting against efforts that threaten the financial security Americans have earned. Full statement: spr.ly/6015BHHZ9T

Social Security beneficiaries will receive a 3.6% increase in their monthly payments in 2027. With many older Americans struggling with rising costs, @AARP will never stop fighting to protect Social Security from cuts or privatization. #WeEarnedIt

Medicaid is health insurance. When people have health insurance, 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 benefits: Hospitals and clinics stay open. Taxpayer dollars stay in state. Small businesses can keep part-time and entry-level employees. Employees stay healthier. ✅ Vote No on I

Thanks to @LeaderJohnThune for another positive step for financial security with passage of the CLERGY Act. This gives clergy members who opted out of Social Security and Medicare (a permanent decision that many made early in their careers) a 2-year window to opt back in.

Thank you, @LeaderJohnThune, for helping secure passage of the Claiming Age Clarity Act. This provides easier-to-understand information about how Social Security benefits will change based on what age you claim, helping older adults decide when to claim.

We sat down with the candidates for South Dakota's lone seat in the U.S. House of Representatives to ask them about important issues like Social Security, supporting family caregivers and fighting fraud. Watch here: spr.ly/6015BGbe8l
