Campaign for America’s Future: They Found a Way to Cut Social Security: Garnishing for Student Debt

	Think Social Security benefits are protected from garnishment? Think again! It used to be against the law to garnish Social Security benefits to pay debts. That’s because Social Security is an earned benefit and a backstop against poverty. But now a Gingrich era law is changing all that. Hundreds of thousands of seniors are having huge chunks taken out of their checks to pay their student debt. If you are shocked, you should be. But we can fix this. The Department of Education can suspend garnishing Social Security without an act of Congress. Please join Campaign for America’s Future and twenty other groups and sign the petition: Stop Garnishing Seniors Social Security.
