I had read 6.2, but I guess they figure we don't use much gas.
Almost 5.00 in Cal.
Well something better than nothing.
I still have not gotten my 600.00 for low income from Gov. in Calif. Called the state and can't get anyone on phone. I'm in the wrong group I guess, but not according to guidelines on inccome. I fall in the group that is suppose to get it.

It's not just seniors.
It's also anyone 18 or older receiving Social Security Disability Insurance.(SSDI).
They receive an average $1,200/month.
Plus anyone on Supplemental Security Income (SSI): people who are 65 or older, as well as those of any age, including children, who are blind or who have disabilities.
They receive an average $800/month.
Compare that to the average $1,500/month that regular/retire Social Security beneficiaries receive. And numerous seniors have additional sources of monthly income.
Nothing personal, but I get tired of how many seniors - who have the highest average disposable income - are constantly kvetching.
Well, now I learned what you think of seniors. I have many senior friends and they have a very limited disposable income. They are facing many struggles and I happen to care deeply about them.

There is no free lunch. We ALL pay for it in some form or fashion!

That's good news.
Contrary to what some may think, the majority of seniors are not living it up with fistfuls of cash at their disposal. With the increase in Medicare, it won't exactly enable them to go on a spending spree.
I know many seniors through my mother and they worked for years and saved what they could.

I'm satisfied getting a 5.9% increase in my SS check each month. That amounts to over $ 100.00 more a month and since Medicare Part B's increase is $10.00, I net an extra $90.00 a month. I'm certainly not getting that in interest on my savings! So sick and tired of all the complaints and the negativity.

Seems like a very generous bump to me. I think I heard the average retiree will get $93 more a month.
