Deluzio Hosts Social Security Town Hall Conversation in the North Hills

HAMPTON TWP, PA – Yesterday, Congressman Chris Deluzio (PA-17) hosted a Social Security Town Hall with NAMS (Northern Area Multi Service Center) in the North Hills. He was joined by Max Richtman, President and CEO of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare (NCPSSM), one of the nation’s most influential senior advocacy and education membership organizations. Several dozen constituents attended the Congressman’s event to hear updates from Washington and to ask questions about Social Security and Medicare.

“The way I see it: Social Security is an obligation this country makes to its hardworking people,” said Rep. Deluzio. “Social Security beneficiaries of today and tomorrow are all of us—our loved ones, family members, neighbors, and friends. More than 170,000 of my constituents receive Social Security, and many rely on these earned benefits to make ends meet. I stand firm in my commitment to protect and strengthen the promise of Social Security.”

“Twenty-one percent of this congressional district is over 65, so it’s critical that Western PA has a congressman who recognizes the value of Social Security and Medicare,” said Max Richtman, President and CEO, National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare. “These programs provide fundamental financial and health security for older constituents living on fixed incomes—and Rep. Deluzio will continue to protect them from cuts. We’re glad that Congressman Deluzio has cosponsored the Social Security 2100 Act, which would boost seniors’ benefits and strengthen the program for decades to come.”
