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). We appreciate the Governor’s proposal for $25 million to support SSI advocacy. That program helps stabilize individuals and support their SSI application, but does not address poverty and hardship for the 1.2 million Californians on SSI/SSP face every day.
