California’s Master Plan For Aging: Increase Income for Seniors and People with Disabilities who Receive SSI/SSP

California has committed to developing a Master Plan for Aging in order to meet the needs of older adults today and for generations to come.

The second of the Master Plan for Aging series of papers, Increase Income for Seniors and People with Disabilities who Receive SSI/SSP, offers three specific policy recommendations for addressing the rising income inequality leading to a lack of retirement security, and for addressing the recession-era cuts that pushed SSI recipients below the poverty line.
