Upcoming event: “A New Deal for Young Adults: Social Security Benefits for Post-Secondary School Students"

Join us on Friday, May 14, for the release of  "A New Deal for Young Adults: Social Security Benefits for Post-Secondary School Students"
in the U.S. Capitol Building.

Social Security is best known as the foundation of retirement security for older Americans. However, Social Security also provides benefits directly to millions of children under the age of 18 who have lost parental support because of death or disability. A new brief by Alexander Hertel-Fernandez examines the case for extending Social Security benefits until age 22 when children of deceased and disabled workers are enrolled in college or vocational school.

Speakers Include:

• Alex Hertel-Fernandez, Economic Policy Institute
  
• Hilary Doe, Roosevelt Institute Campus Network
  
• Wilhelmina Leigh, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies
  
• Janice Gregory, NASI (Moderator)
