URGENT ACTION ALERT: CALL THE GOVERNOR

Great news! AB 1584, to restore the annual Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Cost of Living Allowance, has now passed both houses unanimously and the bill is on its way to the governor's desk!

The time is now for you to contact Governor Brown and urge him to sign the bill that would restore the cost of living increase that was abolished years ago. No senior or person living with a disability should have to struggle to survive on a grant that is below the Federal Poverty Level.

You can help by calling Governor Brown's office at (916) 445-2841.
