What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

The Social Security Administration announced that Social Security checks will increase by 3.6% this year due to inflation, raising the average check from $2,095 to $2,170 starting in January. AARP commented on the benefit structure, noting that while the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) is designed to offset inflation, many retirees feel the increase is insufficient to meet their needs.
