Social Security raise eases burden for poor seniors in Florida
In West Palm Beach and across the nation 55 million Social Security recipients will receive a boost averaging 39 dollars a month starting in January. The raise highlights the gap between rich and poor seniors as lower income retirees rely on benefits for basic needs while higher earners see it as a bonus. Elizabeth Davis of Miami, 71, says the extra funds matter to cover bills after two years without a raise. She relies on a 668 dollar monthly check and faces growing costs from taxes to groceries, using debt and frugal cuts to stay afloat.
