How COLA Helps — and Its Limitations
A COLA increase is meant to protect retirees and others on fixed incomes from rising prices. In practice, this year’s 2.8 percent boost adds roughly $50–$60 more per month for the average recipient compared to 2025.
However, some retirees may see part of that benefit offset by higher costs for Medicare Part B premiums, which are deducted from Social Security checks at the source.
A new senior tax deduction also took effect for tax filings starting in 2026, potentially reducing the federal income tax owed on Social Security benefits for many Americans aged 65 and older.
Illegal immigrants and non US citizens DO NOT receive Social Security!!! There are MANY free services out there for ANYONE who needs help with food, medical, technology, etc. Do your own research! Google it! READ!! GET EDUCATED!!! STOP being a DUMB MAGA!
Non-American citizens DO NOT receive social security. Stop saying that!
My question is what do we tell the landlord, debt colectors,car insurance God forbid insurance i phone calls and flags. I have had bills setup for the 4th of the month. Struggling as is. With gas and food most are broke.
That’s because the demoRATS are spending our tax dollars for illegal immigrants…giving them free phones…free housing…free money…meanwhile we have homeless CITIZENS living on our streets. Wake up they want to turn this country into a communist state. No thank you read some history books. We were taught about communism in school and how if this country ever became communist it wouldn’t be from the outside it would be from within. Thanks to Binden having an open border we are seeing that happen before our eyes! Wake up before it’s too late
For sure
