0:00The United States Senate
0:01is deciding
0:02who the next head of
0:03Reshma Mehta
0:03AARP ADVOCATES
0:03Social Security will be.
0:05That means that right now
0:07is the time for all of us to speak up.
0:09Social Security is OUR money.
0:10We've paid in with
0:12every paycheck,
0:12and it MUST be protected.
0:14What the new
0:15commissioner decides
0:16could impact your retirement,
0:17as well as your kids and grandkids.
0:19Here's what AARP thinks
0:20they should focus on:
0:21First, safeguard against
0:23any Social Security payment delays.
0:25People need their money on time.
0:27Second, ensure
0:28the claims backlog is fixed.
0:29And third, improve customer service.
0:31The call wait time
0:33right now is 2 hours and 56 minutes.
0:36Clearly this isn't acceptable
0:38to millions of seniors
0:39who have earned their Social Security
0:41and are just trying to get
0:43basic questions answered.
0:44This is your chance to share
0:45YOUR point of view with Congress
0:47and the new commissioner
0:49What should they focus on?
0:50What should they know about Social Security
0:52and what's at stake for
0:53you and your family?
0:54Tell us right here, in the comments below.
0:56Thank you.
0:57Protect Social Security
0:57NOW-and in
0:57the future!
