Daniel Akaka: “Over the past years, Social Security disability claims have risen across the Nation.”

I fought to include a report on remittance transfers in the Dodd-Frank provisions.

Last Congress, bipartisan legislation was introduced by Senator Daniel Akaka (S. 998) and Representative George Miller (H.R. 1867) to address this problem and assure that all pilots are provided fair benefits.

Financial literacy and consumer protection issues are very close to my heart.

Thank you, Chairman Brown. Thank you very much for holding this hearing today and for all of your work on consumer protection issues.
