Social Security Fact Sheet
Justice in Aging is a national organization that uses the power of law to fight senior poverty by securing access to affordable health care, economic security, and the courts for older adults with limited resources. As a group that advocates, agitates and educates on behalf of older adults in Santa Barbara County, one of our many concerns is the future of Social Security.
We hope you will find this fact sheet helpful.
