Answer :

Social workers' role in addressing elderly poverty and the impact of Social Security benefits.

The elderly poverty rate has been a concerning issue despite improvements over the years. Social Security benefits play a vital role in preventing a higher poverty rate among the elderly.

As social workers, we can bridge the gap for the elderly population by advocating for increased support services, access to affordable healthcare, and financial assistance programs.
