House Democrats and progressive activists are accusing the leadership of the Social Security Administrationcurrently headed by Trump holdover Andrew Saulof slow-walking the Biden administration's effort to distribute direct coronavirus relief payments to tens of millions of seniors and people with disabilities.
In a letter (pdf) to Saul on Wednesday, Democratic members of the House Ways and Means Committee raised alarm on behalf of "the nearly 30 million Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries who are still awaiting their economic impact payments (EIPs)"checks approved under the recently passed American Rescue Plan.
"Nearly 30 million seniors and people with disabilitieswho are among those hit hardest by Covidstill haven't received their relief checks. They are counting on these checks for basic necessities like food and medication."
