AARP Supports Administration Social Security Budget Proposal

From a press release issued by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP):

“AARP’s top priorities in this legislation include adequate funding to address the Social Security Administration’s growing disability claims backlog ..."

“For FY 2011, we urge that the Committee provide at least $12.5 billion to operate the programs under Title II and Title XVI of the Social Security Act, including Old Age, Survivors and Disability Insurance (OASDI). Without this significant increase, the SSA will be unable to maintain quality service to the public, the disability backlog will worsen and program integrity will be undermined.”
