Hands Off Social Security Update

By Rep. Dave Loebsack

Dear Friend,

I wanted to share with you a quick update on my efforts to protect Social Security and senior's hard earned benefits. I am pleased to let you know that after urging the President to not include what's known as "chained CPI" in his 2015 budget plan, the White House recently announced that it will not be included. This is great news! This move, which is used to calculate annual Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) for Social Security, would have had a negative effect on Iowa's seniors.

Please know that I will continue to keep fighting for seniors and ensure that Iowans who played by the rules, paid into the system, and worked hard get their earned benefits.

Sincerely,

Dave Loebsack
Iowa's Second District
