Social Security: Thrive or Survive

In March, the Social Security Board issued a dire report forecasting the need to cut benefits by 23 percent in 2033 if revisions are not made. There does not appear to be the political will to strengthen the program in the current environment. Social Security is broken, but there are options for fixing and those changes should be enacted soon. At Home in Alexandria (AHA) invites you to join us for a discussion on options to protect our benefits.

AHA has a volunteer with years of experience to help us understand the issues and options. Robert “Bob” Blancato is the National Coordinator of the bipartisan 3,000-member Elder Justice Coalition. He is also president of Matz, Blancato and Associates, executive director of the National Association of Nutrition and Aging Services Programs, and the national coordinator of the Defeat Malnutrition Today coalition. Bob has long been recognized as a national advocate with policy expertise on behalf of older adults. As a volunteer, he currently serves on the national board of AARP and the board of the National Hispanic Council on Aging.
