Social Security to gain 8 percent hike in July
UPI reports 35 million people would receive an 8 percent increase in Social Security and SSI checks in July, though the administration asked Congress to cut to 5 percent in Ford's fiscal 1976 budget. If maintained, the rise marks the first automatic cost of living increase for millions, with average retiree benefits rising and SSI levels expanding. The final decision hinges on Congress, as the 8 percent proposal costs $5.7 billion in the first year while Ford’s 5 percent plan would cost $3.5 billion.
