Ron Wyden actually said...

"Now is the time for Congress to finally do right by the 8 million Americans relying on SSI we've forgotten for far too long."

"The law says that young people who receive SSI could have their benefits cut if they decide to try to work and make an income."

"If we don't act now, the trust funds in these programs will be exhausted, leading to significant benefit cuts under current law."

"I am working with Chairman Wyden and Leader Schumer to ensure that long-overdue updates to SSI are included in the forthcoming family infrastructure package."
