Target: Joe Biden, President of the United States
Goal: Support social security income increases and elimination of medical debt from credit histories.
Social security benefits and medical debt have grabbed major headlines in recent years. This ForceChange petition and this petition brought further attention to these issues ever-present in the minds and lives of Americans. In the final days of the Biden administration, two significant developments could better the fortunes of millions.
The first development, the passage of the Social Security Fairness Act, will boost benefits for government workers who for years unfairly had their social security payments reduced. Public servants who will now likely see higher benefits include first responders, teachers, and postal workers. The second announcement from the outgoing administration involves the erasure of nearly 50 billion dollars of medical debt from Americans’ credit reports. Without this undue burden on their credit scores, consumers will be better able to secure loans for everything from vehicles to homes.
Sign the petition below to laud actions that will make a meaningful impact for average Americans.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Biden,
“A great gift” for public servants: Senator Chuck Schumer hailed the passage of the Social Security Fairness Act with these words. Lending your signature to this important piece of legislation will mean a more secure and comfortable retirement for Americans who spent decades dedicating their lives to the public sector. Likewise, individuals and families can now pursue aspects of the American Dream unencumbered by their medical debt. As Vice President Harris said, “”No one should be denied economic opportunity because they got sick or experienced a medical emergency.”
Thank you for progressing these acts of public service even as your time in office concludes.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
