Since 1935, Social Security has helped older Americans live and retire with dignity, supported people with disabilities, and provided vital income to families after the loss of a loved one. It’s a promise earned through a lifetime of hard work—and it has stood the test of time, weathering economic downturns, political shifts, and demographic change. In its 90 years of existence, a payment has never been missed.
Today, more than 67 million Americans receive Social Security and nearly 722,000 recipients live in Connecticut. For many, it’s the bedrock of their retirement. And as we approach this milestone anniversary, one thing is clear: we must continue to protect and strengthen Social Security.
*PARKING - is available in the state lot at the corner of Capitol Avenue and Oak Street.
