Seniors and other people who rely on Social Security benefits could next year see their biggest cost-of-living adjustment since 1981, with an advocacy group for older Americans forecasting an 8.6% hike.
The typical monthly Social Security check is about $1,658, which means beneficiaries could see an increase of $142.60 per month in early 2023, bringing the average check to about $1,800, according to a new forecast from the Senior Citizens League.

Exactly Medicare will go up just as much taking it all away!!
All debt that will never be repaid
Oldies will die off soon. Gen x,y,z are the biggest bag holders of all time.
Hey noob - I’m old and not what anyone would call a plantation dweller.
So STFU.
“COLA’s keep the old and disabled on the democrat plantation.”
stupidest comment on FR this year, and believe me, the competition up to now has been almost overwhelming ...
But it is the machine of entitlement payments that raise with congress. That is a huge promotional thing for democrats.
Keep it up and the VIKING KITTIES are going to have you for a snack.
Democrats parade the big lie that Social Security protection is their #2 goal, right after protecting abortion, well make that #3 after protecting illegal immigration. But it was the democrats that made a portion of SS Benefits taxable, then continually lowered the income level at which point the benefits were taxable. The democrats have been stealing American’s Social Security for over 40 years.
“””COLA’s keep the old and disabled on the democrat plantation.”””
The social security age group, the old, are the least democrat age group.
Yes, I think anyone in that situation would be the democrat’s prime support.
SS/SSDI people are one of the dem’s primary voter block. It’s not up to debate, it just is how it is.
................................................
I’m one of those “S.S. people” people you mentioned and to suggest that I and a lot of other members of F.R “are dem’s primary voter block” is deeply insulting.
F.Y.I. I will be 77 years old next month and have never voted for a democrat, for any office, in my life and am not about to start now. Peddle your bull manure at D.U., where you belong.
Boy, you sure stuck yo foot in yo mouf.
winning friends and influencing people, way to go, bro
I just recently retired. I paid in all my working life. It’s my money and I have never voted democrat
Was only saying that those receiving SS/SSDR want the payments to gu up the most.
Can get a lot of flack for just saying it.
You did better than I did. Mine went down by $7.
Lets go Brandon.
Watch out for another Medicare premium rate hike.
Agree
Never forget it was Senator Joe Biden who led the charge to tax Social Security.
Hastens the day when it goes bankrupt; chances of my ever seeing a dime of my share of SS going down the tubes.
Don’t sweat the small stuff
SS amount goes up 8.6 percent, actual check you get goes up 2% on increased Medicare B, C, D etc costs.
