20. I have referred to this pay hike in the past because seniors &
persons who receive SSI also get this cola. HOWEVER, those of us who are poorest do not get to keep ours. The minute the cola is allotted the medicaid premium goes up and housing costs go up so that these two groups seldom see a real raise.

PLEASE block the senate/scotus/top government employees from getting their raise. They have been using the "needy" to justify the raise for years now. It needs to stop.
