Rep. Bruce Braley (IA-01) today released the following statement on the 79th anniversary of the Social Security program.

"Social Security is one of the most important, effective programs in American history--it's significantly reduced poverty among seniors and ensured a basic safety net for generations. I'm committed to protecting it for the Iowans who rely on it today and the Iowans who will rely on it in the future."

Over 450,000 Iowa seniors received Social Security benefits in 2013.
