Senator Tunney. This joint hearing of the Senate Special Committee on Aging and the Judiciary Subcommittee on Representation of Citizen Interests takes place amid mounting evidence that the legal and other needs of older Americans have, to a large extent, been overlooked and ignored. Every day approximately 4,000 Americans turn 65. Almost 10 percent of our population, and 2 million Californians, are 65 or older. Many of these people are able to lead productive lives. Many others are burdened with health problems, small retirement incomes against which expenditures for food and shelter are disproportionately large, and the enormous red tape involved in securing needed Federal benefits, Social Security, food stamps, veterans´ pensions, Medicare, Supplemental Security Income, to which they are now entitled and which are the economic mainstay of a vast majority of older Americans. Social Security, for which more than 90 percent of the elderly are eligible, accounts for more than 50 percent of the total income of two-thirds of all single beneficiaries and one-half of all couples. Too often our elderly are deprived of their rights because no one is available to explain the technical language of Federal regulations, or the requirements for witnessing a will, or the qualifications to be met in a pension plan, or the tax implications of retirement programs.
