Blunt, O’Malley & Stabenow Unite To Support Social Security

Washington, DC – April 10, 2025 – The Social Security Administration (SSA) and its essential programs have recently been getting a great deal of attention. As reported by major media platforms, operational and staffing issues have arisen that cause some to be concerned for the millions of older and disabled Americans who depend on Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). As a result, Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) is convening a landmark, sold-out conference in Chicago on April 15-16 to discuss and develop consensus solutions.
