Social Security Administration Benefits
In 2022, Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payouts will rise by 5.9% for over 70 million Americans. When the cost of living rises, as determined by the Consumer Price Index of the Department of Labor, federal benefits climb as well (CPI-W).
US News recently published a report that even though they have previously earned COLA benefits, many Americans have gotten a new check if they are Social Security beneficiaries. Moreover, if Social Security checks aren’t enough to cover monthly expenses, beneficiaries can apply for Social Security Supplement Income.
