I got the same message. I’ll try later and see if I get through. I am
sure my cost of living increase is more than the meager .3 percent increase
just announced says it is.

Friend,retirees.
I signed a petition on Action Network telling Congress to Retirees
need
$581
now; tell Congress to pass the SAVE Benefits Act.
There was no 2016 Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for
beneficiaries. That was bad. But the just announced 2017 COLA of just
$5.00 per month for the average retiree may wind up being worse for
Since there was a COLA, Medicare premiums are expected to increase.
It's likely that those premiums will absorb all of the COLA leaving
beneficiaries with no additional money to help pay their bills. That's
why we need your help, sign the petition below and demand Congress
pass the SAVE act.
Can you join me and take action? Click here:
