Whoo-hooo-hoo! I LOVE GOOD NEWS!! 
"Get ready for another big bump in Social Security payments, at least if one prediction pans out.
Recipients can expect their 2023 Social Security benefit to grow by 9.6% after an adjustment for inflation, according to new projections by the Senior Citizens League.
If the prediction proves true, it would mark the highest cost of living adjustment — or COLA — for Social Security since 1981."
sounds so good
That’s definitely good news for a lot of people!
More money is always good news! However, you should contact your congressman about the payout. An increase based upon a percentage means the people getting the most money will get more money than those on the lower end of the scale. (Example: $10.00 x 10% = $1.00; $5.00 x 10%=0.50) In short, the people who need the increase the most will get the least amount of money! An “across the board” increase, like the stimulus checks, or a sliding scale approach with lower income to receive a larger percent would be a lot more equitable. As it stands now, the people at the top end will get twice as much as the people at the lower end.
As always, those with little, gain the least. Somehow this is our country’s norm. Very sad indeed.
Looking forward to any amount of increase!?
