Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a government program for disabled and elderly citizens. Unfortunately, it has not been updated since 1989 – I was a four-year-old at the time. As it stands, the current system keeps recipients below the poverty line with insufficient income and strict rules not allowing recipients to save more than two thousand dollars. Many disabled SSI recipients cannot marry without losing their benefits, meaning the United States of America is still not a land of marriage equality.

Fortunately, there is a chance to change things with the new SSI Restoration Act. Fix Supplemental Security Income in 2021 is a new website that can help you take action. It is full with information all about this bill, as well as an easy-to-use tool that helps you email your representatives in a few easy clicks. There is also a phone option, but for disabled people like me who struggle with using phones, the email option could not be easier. It helps you find your representative and includes a script so you don’t have to write anything of your own if you don’t want to.

So please, head over to fixssi.com and take action!
