Californians for SSI Coalition (CA4SSI) Responds to the Governor’s May Revise

The 2019-20 Budget Must End Poverty for 1.2 Million Living on SSI/SSP

CA4SSI is disappointed that the Governor’s May Revise does not address the crisis of poverty for the 1.2 million California children, seniors and people with disabilities who receive combined Supplemental Security Income & State Supplemental Payment grants (SSI/SSP).
