"A Social Security cost-of-living-adjustment of 8.7% is rare – enjoy it now," said Mary Johnson, a policy analyst at the Senior Citizens League. "This may be the first and possibly the last time that beneficiaries today receive a COLA this high."
Larger Social Security payments are set to begin this week for millions of retired Americans, who will see an 8.7% cost-of-living bump to their benefits.

“I’m sure everyone is anxiously awaiting because prices are still high,” said Mary Johnson, a Social Security and Medicare policy analyst at The Senior Citizens League, an advocacy group. “Just shopping for food to feed people during the holidays is going to be a huge challenge.”
Senior citizens and other Social Security recipients will start getting a heftier monthly benefit next month due to an 8.7% annual cost-of-living adjustment aimed at helping them cope with high inflation.
12/13/2022
Today The Senior Citizens League is reporting that from January through December, the 5.9% COLA fell short of actual inflation every month by 46% on average and left the average Social Security benefit of $1,656 short by more than $42 per month and more than $508 for the year.

The Social Security Administration has announced that the COLA will increase Social Security benefits by 8.7% starting in 2023.
A COLA this high is almost unprecedented.
This may be the first and the last time that today’s beneficiaries receive a COLA this high. There were only three other times since the start of automatic inflation adjustments that COLAs were higher (1979-1981).
The COLA this year will help, but it does not address the more essential concerns of seniors living at or near the poverty level, like putting food on the table, filling prescriptions, and making sure they have heat as winter nears. That is why The Senior Citizens League will continue to advocate for Social Security Reform, Medicare reform, and a special 1,400.00 stimulus for Social Security recipients.

“It’s the highest rate of inflation that retirees and disabled people today have really ever seen,” said Mary Johnson, a Social Security and Medicare policy analyst at The Senior Citizens League.

Members of the Senior Citizens League can join us on FaceBook and on our website ssfairness.com to repeal the Social Security penalties that keep more than two million retirees from receiving their EARNED Social Security benefits. More than half a million women lose every cent of their Social Security benefits! Join Us! Social Security Fairness - Repeal the GPO/WEP!
Like many groups, they need some income for the work they do for Seniors. They understand if you can't. I thank them for being so dedicated to Seniors and they care!
“The motivations behind the nursing facilities in each sector likely play a role in the quality of care and qualifications of the staff working there — especially when one considers mission driven work versus the goals of profit driven work.”

Thank you for explaining next year's income or lack of...
In NJ, nothing is affordable so next year we Seniors/very low income, have no idea what to do. I can't even afford a car. Now, paying for Medical and rent. Food too. We feel doomed after all the years we worked to end up with a broken system.
I have a couple questions for senior citizens.
My reason for asking is that I'm an insurance broker and kicking around ideas for designing a new ad.
How many know that Medicare Supplement plans can be shopped out and changed anytime throughout the year?
How many know that the supplement plans are standardized by the government and the plan designs, for instance Plan F, are the exact same from carrier to carrier?
Supplement plans are not bound by the Annual Enrollment dates that the Rx or Medicare Advantage plans are.

Got a Problem Here With My Govt. Have Paid Into SS Since 1960, MY MONEY !!!! What's The Problem Giving It Back? SS IS NOT a Govt. Benifit, (OUR / MY MONEY PAID IN) In Fact, "They" Stole It In The Name Of Barrowing It" ... Our (Govt.) Doesn't Have Any Trouble Giving "Our / My" Money To "Law Breaking" Illegals' & Non-Working ... Yes, Some AMERICANS' Need Help, I Understand ...But This Other Stuff Is Stealing ....STEALING ...Understand???
Again you had me submit one of your incomplete surveys and when I wrote you to comment, your screen asked for my first and last name. Ofcourse I would gladly give you my name but there was no where to enter it. Is this a game? Or is it you don't want to hear what others have to say.
I've read a lot of negative feed aimed at the Senior Citizens League and I don't understand why? Our Representatives don't give a dame about Seniors. Do we hear any talk at all from our representatives about the negative cost of living raises Seniors receive? I have written my representatives for years with little or no response. The biggest problem as to why the Retiree's Trust Fund is running dry is a no brainer. Since the Reagan Adm., Social Security DISABILITY has been paid from the Social Security Trust Fund. Just watch Judge Judy and we can conclude that the Disability Program in our country is out of control. One woman got Disability because she had a gambling problem. A lot of people find that if their child is a little slow then they can get Social Security Disability for that child. What message does that say to the child? There are people in our society that know the system and take advantage of it. The disability system needs an overhaul and needs to be paid from a separate account, not the Retiree's Trust Fund Another fault is the way COLA is set up, the COLA deduction from paychecks stops at a certain dollar amount. I suggest that the COLA deduction is paid on a full year salary. The more you make, the more you pay.
You leave a post and want to know what I think and then when I take the time to tell you, the e-mail won't go through. It states it needs a name but there is no where to add a name. Who set this up?
