A new proposal in Congress aims to resurrect an old tradition: mailing Social Security statements to your home.

Since 2011, the Social Security Administration has cut back on the number of paper statements it puts in the mail in order to save money.

A new bill, called the Know Your Social Security Act, aims to reinstate those statements for all workers ages 25 and up.

Washington – Every member of Connecticut's congressional delegation has asked the Trump administration to abandon a new rule they say would cut or eliminate benefits for as many as 45% of the state's food stamp recipients.

"This proposed rule dramatically undermines Connecticut's ability to assist families in need and will disproportionally impact our state's most vulnerable populations," the lawmakers wrote officials at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the federal agency in charge of the food stamp program.
