Supported an amendment to the Senate's FY 2014 Budget Resolution that would prohibit using the chained CPI to determine the COLA for veterans and Social Security benefits. Supported Senate Concurrent Resolution 15 which expresses the sense of Congress that the Chained CPI should not be used to calculate COLAs for Social Security or veterans benefits.United Spinal supports and discussed the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act of 2013 (H.R. 647/S. 313). This measure, which continues to have broad bipartisan support, will allow individuals to have tax-exempt savings accounts to be used for health education and wellness, employment supports, vehicle modification, assistive technology. United Spinal continues to advocate the Social Security Administration to ensure the preservation of disability benefits and advocates Congress and the Administration to oppose cutting social security benefits with a formula known as the Chained CPI formula which will result in significant benefit cuts for supplemental security income recipients and social security disability income recipients. United Spinal submitted comments and recommendations to the Commission on Long-Term Care in favor of measures that support consumers with spinal cord injuries and disorders and continued dialogue with Congress on these matters. United Spinal supported the CHAMPVA Children's Protection Act (H.R. 288/S. 325). This legislation increases from 23 to 26 the maximum age of eligibility for certain dependent children of veterans for medical care under CHAMPVA (the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs). United Spinal opposes the chained consumer price index which lowers social security benefits significantly over time and supports the chained CPI-E (Experimental Price Index for the Elderly) to calculate SSI and SSDI to ensure people with disabilities continue to have the critical income support they need to cover essential needs such as food, medicine and shelter. United Spinal supports H.R. 649/S. 308 Protecting and Preserving Social Security Act of 2013, and S. 567/H.R. 3118, Strengthening Social Security Act of 2013. Supports H.Con.
