Secure The Retirement of Mothers and Other Caregivers!

 

By the year 2030, forty percent of women will still be earning more Social Security benefits based on their spouse's work records rather than their own.  Why? Because women, the nation's caregivers, particularly mothers, have lower lifetime earnings and more years out of the workforce.  The greater risk of poverty in old age makes mothers, and all women, more heavily dependent than men on Social Security, whose trust funds face insolvency in 2038.  Join the campaign!  Join the movement!  Visit the Lobbyline sister site www.securemom.com and  tell your U.S. Senators to support Social Security credits for family caregivers!
