Millions of older Americans who rely on federal benefits will get a 1.7 percent increase in their monthly payments next year, the government announced Wednesday.

Unhappy? Blame the President. He has money in his stash, but doesn't want to share it with you people.

Is this the typically time of year that this is announced?
Seems to be the opposite direction of the notion to align April 15 and November 4.

I get so tired of hearing that SS recipients are “living large off the government”. I paid into SS beginning in 1955 and since I have had my own business since 1985, still do but pay both sides of the freight.

YES, it’s always announced this time of year. I don’ remember specifics, but it is tied into the economy’s performance in the month of September each year.
