Statement from Larry Minnix, President & CEO, American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, on the 75th Anniversary of Social Security
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is a statement from Larry Minnix, President and CEO, American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, on the 75th anniversary of Social Security:
"The 75th anniversary of the Social Security program is an important landmark in our country's work to meet the needs of older adults.
This program offers protection to millions of Americans even in times of economic turmoil and financial insecurity. Many of the individuals that AAHSA members serve rely on Social Security benefits as their primary source of income. And it is that support that helps them age with the dignity they deserve.
As our nation's aging population continues to grow, we must work together to ensure that Social Security continues to offer economic security for people when they need it the most. Millions of Americans rely on this program's benefits today. And millions more deserve the same opportunity tomorrow. AAHSA calls on Congress and the administration to keep this program strong and sustainable for the future."
