House Democrats oppose proposed cuts to Social Security benefits: House Social Security Subcommittee Ranking Member John B. Larson and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz are leading a coalition of 165 House Democrats urging Social Security Commissioner Frank Bisignano to stop planned cuts to disability benefits under the Trump administration. They argue that these changes would disproportionately affect older Americans with disabilities.

Concerns over economic impact: The lawmakers assert that removing age as a factor in eligibility could push many older recipients into poverty. They highlight that the average Social Security disability payment is approximately $19,000 per year, emphasizing the critical nature of these funds for beneficiaries' basic living expenses.

Call to action: In their letter, they request an end to plans that would restrict eligibility for Social Security benefits and urge collaboration to preserve statutory protections and ensure fair evaluations of disability claims.
