The 15 percent across the board Social Security boost takes effect January 1 but checks for retirees, widows, disabled, and spouses reach recipients in early April with a retroactive payment for January and February. The raise lifts average retiree benefits from about 100 to 116 dollars, and couples from 176 to 196.
