Aged Benefits Hiked 8 Percent Across Social Security
The 8 percent boost, announced by Caspar Weinberger, raises benefits for about 35 million Social Security and Supplemental Security Income recipients. Checks rise starting July, costing $5.7 billion in the new fiscal year, with higher payments tied to previous budget debates and inflation concerns. The average retired man over 65 gains about $1 more monthly on a $184 base, while other increases touch couples, minimums, and disabled workers, expanding benefits across the system.
