Social Security Boost May Reach Many in April
Congress approved a 15 percent benefits increase for about 25 million recipients. The raise takes effect January 1, with past months paid retroactively in a lump April check, lifting average payments from about 100 to 116 dollars for individuals and 170 to 196 for couples. Some welfare effects may offset the raise, as states may reduce welfare payments replacing income, altering total monthly income for many beneficiaries.
