There is an alternative way to help disabled and retired American citizens would be to pass legislation to reduce the cost of living by federal mandated Rent and Price controls on everything thing across the economic spectrum.
This is more than a slap in the face I retired in 2012 they gave me SSDI because of an injury on my job I worked for 14 years they told me I couldn't get my retirement because I wasn't old enough now I'm 75 and guess what I'm still not getting my retirement what is the problem what is the deal with that I'm trying to live off of $800 social security is nothing but a rip off and a big joke but we're going to have a power and I want every dime that they owe me who do I talk to besides social security are there any available lawyers? I'm so tired.
We struggle to get a decent raise and if it's anything that's big enough to help the government trys to beat us out of a few dollars. There are alot of us and if we would band together we could stop this crap.
The cola increase should be 125% cost of living and every person on ssdi and ssi should be getting 2999.99 a month and that should be for every person on ssdi and ssi
If you went to school, got educated for a good job, worked 35 years at the maximum, you would be getting over $4,000.00 a month. SS depends on what you paid in.
I already received notification from SSI that the 8.75% increase will be started in January, 2023. They broke it all down in an official notification from Social Security for Cost of Living. This letter is proof of my benefits starting next month and can be used to prove my income.
It about time they they impeach Biden on all his lies he not a leader at all he is destroying America ,he could do better than that .he is back stabbing the DISABLED and your retirement
Andrew, I got a Question? Weren’t we supposed to get back $5.20 from Medicare Part B Premiums that they were overcharging us for 1 year. I don’t see that happening to me. I’ve been on SSDI Disability for years. They told us in September they were overcharging us on Medicare Part B Premiums for that Alizimers medication’s for 1 year. So what happened on that?
It’s not enough to compensate for cost of living expenses. Once you include you insurance plan cost? your loosing so this isn’t going to help anyone. Just more byden BS
The education system should have classes on how to save and invest your money why don't they because they don't want you to get rich because if you're rich they can't control you. So you need to have good parents or people like the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad to show you how to make money!
This is ridiculous. IF YOU DON'T PAY IN, YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO THE MONEY SOMEONE ELSE PAID IN. GET REAL FOLKS. YOU DON'T DESERVE IT. I AM UP TO $1970.00 - mEDICARE. I WORKED THE FULL TIME. I RAISED 3 KIDS, WENT TO SCHOOL AND FINISHED MY BA. SPENT A YEAR IN LAW SCHOOL BUT I DIDN'T DO WELL. THEN I WORKED FOR AWHILE AND GOT A JOB WITH A GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR AND SPENT 21 YEARS THERE. SO, YOU THINK I SHOULD GET LESS AND YOU WHO DID NONE OF THAT SHOULD GET THE SAME??????????
I was getting 841.00 now I get 914 wow you are kidding me I was in a bad accident and broke my neck now SSi is my income and I have stage 4 cancer so I can't work anymore
"Bernie, should be the President he cares about the people.'' I have not received the letter as of today 01/10/23. Thank you very much for the information. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
It is not an 8.7% increase look at what is taken for your Medicare..there is where a good portion of the COLA went sadly you get the few dollars that are left.
And you probably didn't realize that you would only get what you paid in. SS is a retirement program - not a program to give you something you did not earn. I have worked over 50 years and just nearly made it to $2000.00 a month.
Hawaii is the worst economic I’m on SSI/SSDI . Wen SSDI/SSI increased rent increase, car insurance, iPhone, cable all increased not enough to buy bathroom and kitchen cleaner stuff 😢
Andrew Sense we have paid Medicare taxes along with the FIACA tax all our working lives. Our Medicare premiums should be cut in half. Plus repeal the taxation of Social Security benefits. Anyone on fixed incomes should have tax exempt status period.
Andrew What we need is a Social Security Lobby that will strike fear in the hearts of anti Social Security politicians,if they are deemed uncooperative in expanding increasing how the Cola is Calculated to be a benefit to disabled and retired seniors. They need to fear the loss of their political careers if they are consider as enemies of Social Security. Such a Lobby could be born out of the Senior Citizens League or ARRP or created independently. A Group out to destroy the political careers of anti Social Security politicians out to cut and abolish the Social Security program. Plus threaten with moves to get a measure on the 2024 national ballot to strip them of their Government Pensions and Retirement benefits,then force them to depend on Social Security and Medicare with the rest of the U.S. Population. Then transfer all their government pension fund into the Social Security Trust fund.
I only got a total increase for bothy SSI and SSD retirement of $73.00 ..... How is that 8.7 % cuz I was getting $861.00 in 2022 and now I'm getting 943.00 in 2023 dang don't help much
SS is what you paid in. SSI is welfare. You got 8.7% of $861.00 = $74.90 $861.00 + $74.90 = $935.90. You do not get a cola on welfare. SS is a retirement system. Just like every other retirement system, you get paid on what you made. So, with the cola, you lost SSI.
Quit giving all our money to Ukraine and we would have plenty of money for Social Security why are we giving all our money to another country that is my question!

Senior can Only has $2,000 in the bank at time if they are lucky ! ! BUT THEY. RATHER hand it to other countries congress probably say behind our back Americans are so Selfish we HELP everyone even other countries
Mr Andrew, I get both SSI and Social Security retirement I got my letter from Social Security my increase is only $243 but before that I only got $223 and for my SSI I get 637 therefore I did not get the 8.7% increase in my SSI I understand I can't get both so and my social security went from $224 to 243 and for my SSI there's only 637 if you add them both together it only comes out to $880 🤔 I wonder what happened to the 8.7%, which is $80 to be added on my $224 so if you put $637 that I get for SSI and then add $80 it should be $904 🤔.

There is an alternative way to help disabled and retired American citizens would be to pass legislation to reduce the cost of living by federal mandated Rent and Price controls on everything thing across the economic spectrum.
They should stop wasting so much money and Ukraine and fix social security
They should not be using ss for their budget anyway. We worked and put that money in there for many years.
Those of you that haven't worked 35 years don't get the full amount.
This is more than a slap in the face I retired in 2012 they gave me SSDI because of an injury on my job I worked for 14 years they told me I couldn't get my retirement because I wasn't old enough now I'm 75 and guess what I'm still not getting my retirement what is the problem what is the deal with that I'm trying to live off of $800 social security is nothing but a rip off and a big joke but we're going to have a power and I want every dime that they owe me who do I talk to besides social security are there any available lawyers?

You're getting retirement. It changes automatically at around 66
We struggle to get a decent raise and if it's anything that's big enough to help the government trys to beat us out of a few dollars. There are alot of us and if we would band together we could stop this crap.
SS is getting ripped
The cola increase should be 125% cost of living and every person on ssdi and ssi should be getting 2999.99 a month and that should be for every person on ssdi and ssi
B government got a hugh raise so why don't ss,still and etc?
@@judy.mckillip right
Agree they said they owe us money back I haven't forget it way back last year
Social security is more important than Ukraine send out checks 2400 now
Has to pass thru Congress and Senate
If you went to school, got educated for a good job, worked 35 years at the maximum, you would be getting over $4,000.00 a month. SS depends on what you paid in.

I got 8.7%. I worked the required years.
But the raised the cost of are meds so give it to use and the it away
You got that right I didn't get that kind of raise nothing like that glory be to God
And you probably didn't realize that you would only get what you paid in. SS is a retirement program - not a program to give you something you did not earn. I have worked over 50 years and just nearly made it to $2000.00 a month.
Just one more lie to those of us who can't really afford it!!
I knew that was wishful thinking 9.2 percent .
Thank you for explaining this

Thank you again for sharing this information
I got this 8.7 cola amount added to my SSI. Not everyone will get this 8.7 some will get less, while some might get alittle more. Depending
Why do they take out that high premium I need that money to pay my bills with I don't think that's right they don't take it from everyone
That premium is for high cost drugs.
Good morning Andrew
morning :)
I'm retired in Danbury, CT. My amount was correct.
These are all people getting welfare complaining.
Period...
S.S.A., to, Start off, they are not given us enoughwhen, we retire.
Is this the first year the government has lied to seniors . They were told in Oct. 2022 That the raise would be 8.7 period. Now they have come up with a reduced amount if you did not have full retirement.
That is correct. You have to pay in to get money back.
Thank mitch
cuz they dont care about inflation comes out with the same shit still dont even see a glinch on my income
I'm on ssdi and I'm getting 8.7%
These people think they should get a cola on welfare.
To bad hes not on SSI he would help then
I only got a $63 dollar raise pittful.mat a ell been nothing cause food prices takes it plus more.really sux
Yes, they cheated me $8.
Are we talking about nickel and dimes here?
I figured my cola and I got somewhere between a 7.9 and 8% raise. Almost a full percent less than the 8.7%. I won't go on Medicare until September.
That's a lie.
Enough. People on SS get the full amount.
What's the link to that Application of Cola increase chart. I couldn't find it. And let's not forget you didn't pay taxes on SS benefits until Ronald Reagan came up with that bright idea. Then you have people like McConnell and Graham who are dead set at chopping away at SS.
SSI I HAD 118.00 NOW I GETTING 240.00 SO I GOT 132.00 RAISE!
I agree
I got my Cola-8.7% my SSA check came today 1-1-2023,but can't spend until the 3rd
Trump helped elderly people on social security with checks
Who cares about trader Trump
The country was on lockdown
Then you have to tale away the cost of are meds to
Ever one did not get 8.7 i thank SSI got 841 to 914 from what my mom got
Was born in 1959
I got my 8.7 , ya don't hear me cryin .
I did retire at 62 and I get 8.7
Smoke and mirrors!!! I now get $100 less a month. Give in one hand and take away with the other.
Didn't get at all the whole amount was of☺️😜😔😔😔😔😔
My husband got his cola raise on the 3rd. 8.7%
Most of these people are on SSI and think those that have worked 35 years should give up what they paid so they can get more.
Congress get there dam money without getting. Congress don't Screw out of they learn over the years what they paid into plus more $$$$
Senior can Only has $2,000 in the bank at time if they are lucky ! ! BUT THEY. RATHER hand it to other countries congress probably say behind our back Americans are so Selfish we HELP everyone even other countries
I'd like to add that I retired esrly at age 62
I got my COLA at 8.7 percent.
What happens if you retired early due to disability desition?
I like to know how much was the increase
Of those on SSI when I only got $4.00 more of what I gotten from last year
SSI is welfare. Full SS is 35 years of work.
Both sides do Insider trading and have Corporate Donors and you actually believe they'll tax them for everything they have?
It's for SSA
Mr Andrew, I get both SSI and Social Security retirement I got my letter from Social Security my increase is only $243 but before that I only got $223 and for my SSI I get 637 therefore I did not get the 8.7% increase in my SSI I understand I can't get both so and my social security went from $224 to 243 and for my SSI there's only 637 if you add them both together it only comes out to $880 🤔 I wonder what happened to the 8.7%, which is $80 to be added on my $224 so if you put $637 that I get for SSI and then add $80 it should be $904 🤔.
Wheneilligetit?
I got 8.7
Not fair
why did they sent out the letter than ?
Sorry if was off😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
This don't applies to SSDI, Because some people on disability can't control there disability problem.
((((I'm I correct??????))))
No they dont like the poor people they would rather give it to the rich
Maybe Biden will help us? Perhaps in our next life?
I already have my award letter from SSA for my cola of 8.7. Is that a guarantee that it could be changed?
No. You're fine. These are welfare folks complaining.
Too confusing for me, thanks anyway...
Mine is not 8.7
I don't think I am going to get a 4th stimulus check.
No Mike there is no 4th stimulus check and unfortunately probably never will be. At least not at the national level
@@Andrew-Paulo OK. I had a figure of that
Idc I’m working a shit job
False I got 8 7% I n January
They well u crew u one way and another 8.7 don't mean dool squat
it was a slap in the face what a cola raise jokes on me not funny
