Millions of retirees on Social Security will get a 5.9% boost in benefits for 2022 — the biggest cost-of-living adjustment in 39 years. The move follows a bump in inflation as the economy struggles to rebound.

RexDoctor So what… they just raise the amount of my medicare contribution and I end up with even less…. THEN I get to pay taxes on all of it… they can just keep their fucking cola

it's not a 'boost in benefits'

Ah yes , take the money from immigrants who will never see these benefits and hand them to American citizens 😆 America taxing immigrants for ssn is the longest running scam in history

All other generations be damned

No the elderly & disabled do not get this increase. Insurance companies per Medicare law, have increased costs beyond this ss raise. This occurs every yr and there are no offsets for elderly and disabled poor. Police, yes, fire, yes, nurses, yes, etc. SenateDems HouseDemocrats

“Bump in inflation” Biden is destroying this country! If it was under Trump, “bump” would be called head on collision! My god, the msm bias is sickening.

$90 extra a month is not much to celebrate over. Especially when we spend trillions on defense contractors.

Yay it becomes insolvent earlier for all of us paying into it 🙄

Great, but it still won't help because every time we get any increase, our prescription drugs costs and Medicare Supplemental Insurance premiums go up too. We can literally NEVER get ahead...

Sounds like a good motive to create a global pandemic

Does anyone under the age of 55 actually figure in ANY of their retirement income to come from Social Security?

SS should have a means test. Have hundreds of thousands in resources, you shouldn't qualify.

Not near enough.....

The amount of ignorance in the replies to this is...not unexpected, but super disappointing.

Social Security is NOT a retirement investment program! If you think it is then you needed to pay better attention in high school and have done your homework 40 years ago! It was your responsibility to save and prepare for retirement all those years.

The worlds biggest pyramid scheme 😂

Emmyk8080 please tell me this is for SSDI too?

Projected increase in Medicare premiums for 2022. What the government gives with one hand it takes away with the other hand. Will our corporate media ask ANY questions about this?

Let them starve. We need to feed the young. As a nation, we should cut our loses. Old people are a sunk cost.

Great now lower the cost of living, lower grocery prices so that way ppl can live at ease and not stress about fixed incomes!

Will believe it when I see it in my acct.

Might as well speed up the insolvency

holy inflation batman! 6% raises.. if anyone thinks we wont see much higher interest rates in next 5-10 yrs needs to re-adjust. Lock in your mortgages, re-fis and other loans ASAP.
