Since it's that time again, I got out the info from last year to compare what I'll get for this year. By the time I pay the difference in my medicare, part D and supplemental, I'll get to keep $2.50. I guess I'm glad at least I get to keep that, though tt certainly won't buy a dozen eggs or a loaf of bread, or much else.

I will be getting a significant raise (considering that I am now getting nothing) since the SS Fairness Act was passed and signed.

 

For those subject to the Offset and Windfall provisions, things are looking bright indeed.

and all my bills went up 10-20% a month.

thank goodness I have other sources of income.

Don't know how some live on SS alone..especially if you need meds.

I got my increase notice on 12/31. I am thrilled with my net increase. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

@catter70 that's about all I'm getting but I guess it's better than being in the red.

Very happy with the 2.5% increase combined for myself and hubby.   No complaints from me.

My $33 increase will pay for the part B and my supplement increases--with maybe $10 leftover--better than a burnt stick in the eye ! But really great for the teachers/government folks to get theirs!! I was shocked when I heard that wasn't a thing until Biden signed it into law--hopefully it will not be done away with--hopefully!!!Woman Frustrated
