520 |a This document presents a transcript of a hearing on the problems of the black elderly poor. Statements read by nine advocates for the aged and agency representatives are included. Among the issues discussed are cutbacks of Federal income support and maintenance programs, housing, health care, and nutrition; and the fact that older blacks are three times more likely to be considered poor than older whites. Four appendices are included: (1) statistics on poverty among aged blacks in 1984; (2) a statement of the American Association of Retired Persons; (3) national policy recommendations generated at the 1985 convention of the National Caucus and Center on Black Aged, Inc., including the increase of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) to above poverty levels; and (4) a statistical profile of elderly black Americans.
