U.S. Congresswomen Discuss Women’s Issues
U.S. House Representatives Pat Schroeder (D-CO), Mary Rose Oakar (D-OH), Corinne Claiborne “Lindy” Boggs (D-LA), Barbary Bailey Kennelly (D-CT), Geraldine Ferraro (D-NY), and U.S. Senator Nancy Kassebaum (R-KS) continue meeting. Kassebaum states a certain group of people "who are entirely dependent on Social Security" will not be affected by delay in standard of living adjustment. Oakar asks why not; Kassebaum answers that changes to Supplemental Social Security Income will provide extra $30 a month. Rep. Oakar responds that statistically most elderly people don't apply for SSI, that while new regulations provide extra income, less people are eligible for it. Oakar states it comes out to a permanent loss for older women, floats solution of 2 week delay for 10 years, prompting Rep. Ferraro and Schroeder to talk about strategy and how much time they have as the bill goes through Congress.
