5. SSI Payment Standards also increase
If you are one of the people who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits and also their Social Security, this year has some great news for you: the SSI Federal Payment Standard will also increase.
In 2023, it used to be $914, and now, it will be $943. This is perfect considering where those receiving this benefit have to go every day.
For couples where both spouses receive Supplemental Security Income, the benefits will also increase; from $1,371 a month, they will get $1,415. For couples relying on SSI benefits, this is a big change, and this increase in their monthly support will surely help anyone receiving it.
Given the impendiding SS crisis, why are monthly pensions for ex wives are still active even who have remarried 1 or 2 more times, still in place?
VERIFY: Did Joe Biden vote to tax social security benefits twice during his Senate career?
The Verify Team was sent an email, in which a viewer claimed that Joe Biden voted to tax social security benefits two times in his career. This is true.
How about over $2,348. What do I get????????
I’m sorry but this article is old news. I want to know what is going to happen in 2025.
If you are worried about your SS BENEFITS BEING TAXED BY STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS YOU BETTER VOTE FOR TRUMP. He has mentioned many times that he will end taxation of those benefits in office AND LOWER THE INFLATION RATES. If you don’t understand what oil prices have to do with inflation, let me give you a hint.
Oil as you know makes gas and diesel fuel that powers delivery of everything in everyday life. BUT, do you know it is also used in farming as fertilizer for food production, plastics for food packaging, manufacturing of just about anything in todays needs, including syringes for your meds and some clothing.
In this country we have more oil and shale oil than anywhere in the world yet these idiots in government cater to the far left and want to keep oil production down.
They drained the strategic oil reserves which is for National defense just to lower oil prices for a couple days so it looks like they are doing something. My costs of my products I sell have gone up 115%. I had to raise up my sales prices 120%. VOTE FOR TRUMP OTHERWISE THE LITTLE MONEY YOUR COMPLAINING ABOUT NOW WILL BE 10 times worst under K Harris the liar in chief. I live in California and she has destroyed this state and San Francisco with her ignorant policies. Most Californians will agree except those that would vote for her because she is Black or a woman. Do you really want those characteristics to be your deciding vote or do you want our borders closed, low inflation and a strong military and police dept. The choice is yours. Vote early don’t let anyone else fill out your ballot.
The little bit extra is nice, but with inflation at 20%, we seniors are losing a lot of ground, FAST.
Especially, as a widow, age 79, still self employed, I pay several thousand dollars a year in SE tax, but doesn’t that help my income, that was frozen at the level of my deceased husband’s, at the time of his death in 2020, apparently no matter how much I pay in SE tax every year. How is that fair?
The thing I miss is the opportunity to collect part of deceased wife’s Social Security. Since was the minority wage earner; Social Security will not let me collect a dime off of her Social Security account.
Where the hell are the freaking changes for 2024 for social security all you put up there is damn comments from other people you people really got your head up your ass
The government is for the ” government ” . ” Average Joe”. Is just that . Our world is falling apart and its not going to get better now matter who gets into office . Our country use to be the ” land of Opportunity” . That no longer is true . The cost of living keeps going up ! And it’s not going to stop .
