Alliance for Retired Americans leader Richard Fiesta released the following statement on the chaos created by the Trump Administration memo pausing federal grants last night:
“All across the United States seniors are wondering whether their next meal will be delivered, whether the ride they were depending on to get to the doctor will show up, or whether their nursing home bill will even be paid.
“These are just some of the life-saving services Americans rely on to maintain a dignified quality of life as they get older. They are provided through congressionally-approved funds to states or local governments, as well as community partners and agencies, like Meals on Wheels.
“It is cruel and unconscionable for President Trump to disrupt the lives of millions of older Americans and their families on a whim.
“The 4.4 million members of the Alliance for Retired Americans call on him to lift this blanket hold on federal grants and loans immediately.”
