Inflation hit limits for elderly as benefits rise in January
Advocates warn older Americans face higher costs despite negative inflation due to rising health care and housing expenses. About 50 million retirees and disabled receive Social Security, with retirees averaging 1153 dollars monthly and a 5.8 percent rise in January. Medicare premiums rise from 28 to 30 dollars, with deductions from Social Security for many. AARP and Kennelly push for higher benefits or a one time 150 dollar payment funded by higher taxes on income above 106800 dollars. Critics argue no rise is needed while inflation is negative.
