Only people getting it is people that worked for state or federal that payed into a pension and also worked a job that payed into social security. But they will get a higher percentage because of the way social security is calculated
I don't even get that...700 on ss..and less than 200 on ssi...that's it...except snap..which goes down every time I get a slight raise..it's now just over 100 dollars a month...
That's what I mean when I say Medicare is a scam they tell you you're covered medically what you have to jump through a thousand Hoops before you can get care a lot of times you die before you get the care that you were entitled to
People on social security and disability Need their checks raised To poverty level. Below poverty level is a shame and disgrace to the country. Homeless veterans are a shame and disgrace to the country.
The other 97 per cent are also essential workers entitled to raises also! We are struggling more than federal & state employees who already make more and have better benefits & medical! Veterans should've been at the top of that list along w Seniors!
This will only help the people from the government sector not SSI SSDI ect.im glad these people are getting help but the rest of us need the same help God bless everyone who is going to get the help needed what about the rest of us 😢😢😢😢
Yes, this increase is for teachers, police officers and firefighters! And it’s a great thing that they are doing this for all of them. For the rest of us I don’t think is happening. But I am very happy for the ones that will get extra money. 🎉
Social Security should never run out everybody’s been donating to their Social Security throughout their lifetime should receive full-time Social Security because we as a group paid into it for so many years now with people are stealing from it a different story which you can blame the government on that for not watching it or they’re doing it themselves.

You know all those immigrants that were paying into our economy, well! now most of them are gone and if this keeps going. Trump's right, were not going to have a country any more, because he's getting everybody that helped it removed. Just think of it this way, those people had to eat, wear clothes,etc,etc, all that money went to help our economy. And I just hate to think, how many abandoned animals there are going to be now, it's sickening.
You mean, to repay what they “borrowed “? The US government has borrowed from Social Security since 1983, when Congress passed amendments authorizing the taxation of Social Security benefits. This has happened when the government needed to pay for government spending. Explanation In 1981, Congress passed legislation allowing borrowing between the three Social Security Trust Funds. This authority was extended to 1987, and all loans were to be repaid by 1989. In 1982, the Old-Age and Survivors Trust Fund borrowed $17.5 billion from the Disability and Medicare Trust Funds. Repayment began in 1985 and was completed in 1986. Since 1983, every US president has borrowed from Social Security to pay for government expenditures.
Congress tried to slip through a 40.23% pay raise while those of us on SS got 2.5% cost of living increase. Congress base pay is $174K a year. And they are whining about needing a raise?🤬
What about the people on SSI & disability. We need help too. Im barely making it as it is. As soon as i get my check, im broke. It all goes on rent & bills. I get 946 my rent 825. Its hard to live & pay bills on this. Help us out too.
This doesn’t affect you!! This isn’t extra help for those eligible This is money owed to us, money taken away from us. SSI? You haven’t contributed a thing What part of this do you not understand?
I only received $960 from SSA & have received lower amount for 15 years because of WEP so even 1 year retroactive increased benefits will not make up for all I lost. I am now 80 & may not even live to see the increase. But I am still grateful they passed the legislation 🙏🏼
When my husband passed away, 10 years ago, I was denied half of his Air Force retirement that I was entitled to. We were married for 51 years before he passed. I only get half of his social security. It's very hard to survive on what I receive. 😢 😢
I would definitely get that looked into especially ½ of his military retirement⁉️ Plus your are entitled to his SS benefits IF it's more than your SS benefit. My mother's SS was $1200 monthly. When my dad passed & even though they were divorced she could get his SS of $1900 INSTEAD of hers but not both. Trump is changing sooo much to our benefit in so many ways.

967 a month from ssi rent is 600 a month truck insurance 118 a month power bill 300 a month and I haven't made it to the grocery store because I have no money to go
I live on $1470.00 a month and it’s below the amount most people get on social security. what about us we worked all our life and paid in to Social security. we were the generation who most of us couldn’t go to college to better ourselves. But still worked hard to just live. what about us?
The cost of Rent and groceries, is very challenging to seniors. Any problem that comes up is cause for worry and stress. Senior life is not a happy life.
It’s fair. There’s lots of us who got a pension and social security. These are people who worked dangerous jobs while we slept in out beds at home, keeping us safe and taking care of our children every day.
What I’m saying is people that have a pension also Social Security should have that Social Security to the end of their lifetime because they paid so many years that they’ve been working and donating to Social Security that there should be no excuse for not having that money in there unless the government played with it and stole it
Im on social security disability and it’s not rite to make us poorer and poorer every year to the point we can’t pay rent, electricity, and to eat all month. I only get 25.00 raise every January which they turn around and take 11.00 of my food stamps. So I only get 14.00 raise. The prices of everything going up so high every year I’ve gotten poorer and poorer and now no longer can pay the prices of rent and electricity. I need to be able to eat so had to move in with my daughter.

This is American Soil, and as an SSDI low income citizen, I believe that equality and fair income is PARAMOUNT in order to decrease the poverty numbers which is affecting our daily Lives. There are over 60% of SSA Recipients who deserve to live comfortably on a fixed income. We can not continue to enjoy our Lives until Congress is pressured by over 65 million citizens like myself, who deserve equal opportunities, a fair income, and most of all, the ability to own a home, buy a dependable vehicle, and have the Healthcare benefits we can count on. THIS ALL MATTERS TO AT LEAST 1 OUT OF EVERY 5 AMERICANS, MYSELF INCLUDED. Make SSA Great Again and this will allow equality and fairness to thrive.

If I was The law, I would have increased it for everyone. The economy has gotten so expensive, Shelter, Food, Co-payment of medications. Etc .since, Covid everything has sky rocket. We need the extra income, to help us live better. What do you think?😊
So Sounds like this is for government workers only By the way I believe it was J.D. Vance who called the SS office the other day as a test. He waited over 3 hours to talk with someone.. Sounds like fun.
It’s true, I also needed to talk to them & was told the wait was 120 minutes(2 hrs) , same thing the next day. Even emailed them but OF COURSE I didn’t get a response. The ones that “work there” are working from home & don’t even bother to answer the phone.
Congress needs to adjust the 2025 COLA for Social Security and V.A. Pensions to a much Higher Percentage than 2.5 Percent. Which is a Joke. The Rate of inflation in 2024 was much Higher thane 2.5 Percent. It was closer to 8 or 10 Percent Throughout 2024.
I got injured on the job severely as a transit bus driver in 2003. I was only employed from February 2001 to May 2003. I had no retirement savings or anything.
If the government or whoever took it would have kept their slimy hands off of it we wouldn't be in this $#!t storm! I want no more or no less than what belongs to me.
We don't realize how many taxes we really pay. Such as food, and everything we buy. It totals almost 60% of what we earn. Think about car,house, autos, everything we buy!
guess Im out.....I was just a factory worker who now cant make ends meet due to inflation...alittle help would be great for regular people not working at those levels....
We got a 30.00 increase. That's all you are going to get this year period. UA-cam please take this down as it just is so wrong to give those hurting false hope.

I was a teacher & a nurse & worked since I was 15 yrs old, with taxes taken out. My Current SS is below poverty line. All the money 💰 going to Congress & senate & wars we the people don’t believe in took our retirement $.
I'm still working the s.s his can not pay my bills can't find a nice place to live the rest is so high $2000 for one bedroom being working for 40 year I'm also a vet I'm working one full time job and one part time job so I can live don't have no choice
People only see what's happening now. These increases in Social Security mean more money going out while it's going down in reserves. You might get a bigger checks now, if you were a public worker with a pension or make enough retired to pay income tax. But in 6 to 8 years younger people will be paying for this extra money with a 20 to 30% cut in everyone's Social Security. One of the biggest problems for so many, is that they only think a few days or months ahead and never see the coming long term consequences. For most it's money, but it's really no different from for the poor drug addicts who only think ahead to the next high and not to the lifetime consequences of those highs. So many only see the next money high and never see the long term consequences of their money problems. Sad, really.
The US is the richest nation on earth. It's Repubs who have wanted always to take away food and medicine from people who are already poor so they could invest for THEMSELVES all the money that goes to the poor, the old, and the injured. I'm with Jesus: Your money perish with you.
I took my SS early but continued to work part time jobs. Then I went to work for a job that payed a lot more money. I have not received any money for the last 17 years of my highest earning years.
Social security has been a thorn in my side, and made my life 10 times more difficult, due to their incompetence and ignorance, I'm disabled and being discriminated by them,
And just a couple of days ago of the SSA changed the website and said it's going to be about a year before we start seeing anything because they have to get their act together.
The people who need it won't get it that is why we are homeless and starving no medical no address and we are denied access to any services in NY. The cruelty had been nothing but torture and cruel. NY gloats over this abuse
I was under the assumption that the government workers got an extra amount in their government pension based on the fact that they lost their Social Security. And they will not feel the decrease when Social Security runs low on money. They were already compensated and took the job knowing that. Now they changed their minds and got away with it.
What people don't understand is the only people getting this increase are retired government employees like firefighters police teachers not anyone that worked all their life in the public sector..
As a person who is retired and receiving Social Security I will believe it when I see it in my bank account.
It will never happen
Only people getting it is people that worked for state or federal that payed into a pension and also worked a job that payed into social security. But they will get a higher percentage because of the way social security is calculated

In 1981, Congress passed legislation allowing borrowing between the three Social Security Trust Funds. This authority was extended to 1987, and all loans were to be repaid by 1989.
In 1982, the Old-Age and Survivors Trust Fund borrowed $17.5 billion from the Disability and Medicare Trust Funds. Repayment began in 1985 and was completed in 1986.
Since 1983, every US president has borrowed from Social Security to pay for government expenditures.
Social Security similar check $1200 would be good for all seniors please President Trump❤❤
Lol, Trumps trying to take it..😅
Listen people I’ll believe when I see it..
If I was The law, I would have increased it for everyone. The economy has gotten so expensive, Shelter, Food, Co-payment of medications. Etc .since, Covid everything has sky rocket. We need the extra income, to help us live better. What do you think?😊
When are We going To get the money.Next Month I Hope.
So Sounds like this is for government workers only By the way I believe it was J.D. Vance who called the SS office the other day as a test. He waited over 3 hours to talk with someone.. Sounds like fun.
It’s true, I also needed to talk to them & was told the wait was 120 minutes(2 hrs) , same thing the next day. Even emailed them but OF COURSE I didn’t get a response. The ones that “work there” are working from home & don’t even bother to answer the phone.
My family and will not get anything more so this does not apply to us.Very sad but it is what it is😢
New subscriber here and a senior!!!
What about VETERANS & SENIORS? SHOULDNT THEY BE AT THE TOP OF THAT LIST?
Off course not,I am not eligible because I am not a government worker or an illegal immigrant.
I'm not even a felon who crossed over the US border illegally to be eligible.
@RandyFelts2121 are you working for the government?
Be ashamed. The apostle Paul talked about people who "pant after the dust on the poor man's head."
I'm not going to get excited until I see it when I go to the credit union.
NOT FAIR TO REST OF US SSI AMERICANS !
I got a 2.5% COLA raise, just like all but 3.6 million people on SS. That leaves 67 million of us pissing in the wind!
Congress needs to adjust the 2025 COLA for Social Security and V.A. Pensions to a much Higher Percentage than 2.5 Percent. Which is a Joke. The Rate of inflation in 2024 was much Higher thane 2.5 Percent. It was closer to 8 or 10 Percent Throughout 2024.
No way. Whwn i get, i will believe it.
You didn't tell us WHO are getting checks?
I got injured on the job severely as a transit bus driver in 2003. I was only employed from
February 2001 to May 2003. I had no retirement savings or anything.
We have been hearing this for many weeks but have not seen anything on our Bank Accounts! When exactly is this money going to be deposited?
If the government or whoever took it would have kept their slimy hands off of it we wouldn't be in this $#!t storm!
I want no more or no less than what belongs to me.
Don't believe everything you hear this country is in serious trouble.
Giving people who get high pay,
getting even more.
What about people who make less than 1,300, 1500,under 2,.000
We don't realize how many taxes we really pay. Such as food, and everything we buy. It totals almost 60% of what we earn. Think about car,house, autos, everything we buy!
guess Im out.....I was just a factory worker who now cant make ends meet due to inflation...alittle help would be great for regular people not working at those levels....
We got a 30.00 increase. That's all you are going to get this year period. UA-cam please take this down as it just is so wrong to give those hurting false hope.
Ya but then Medicaid takes it so it really amounts to nothing!
I got $13. I’m still no-where near $1k monthly.
I'm not a well off senior on SSI so it won't help me. I'm a poverty ridden senior on SSI.
$2,000 here 🙋🏽♀️💃🏾💃🏾🥂🥂 I get a pension of 2500 and social of $2067..$4,500 a month. I’m good now but will this increase (I’m a state retiree) I WILL BE GREAT! Jehovah is so good! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾😁
Greedy
@@peacefulheart9348it’s called WORKING HARD! Sorry you are broke 🤣🤣🤣
That's good for you
@@TrulieCole it really is! 👍🏾🥂
I truly hope this happens.😊
I'm on disability and I get 1242 a month and went up to 1273. Are we getting more money since I have bills to pay and can't make it with that amount?
I was a teacher & a nurse & worked since I was 15 yrs old, with taxes taken out. My Current SS is below poverty line. All the money 💰 going to Congress & senate & wars we the people don’t believe in took our retirement $.
This is from the Fairness Act. A small percentage of the about 70,000,000 people who receive social security money will get an increase from this act.
I'm still working the s.s his can not pay my bills can't find a nice place to live the rest is so high $2000 for one bedroom being working for 40 year I'm also a vet I'm working one full time job and one part time job so I can live don't have no choice
Everyone is talking about this? No one is saying who gets the raise and when? When is this happening, this month, this year? When??
People only see what's happening now. These increases in Social Security mean more money going out while it's going down in reserves. You might get a bigger checks now, if you were a public worker with a pension or make enough retired to pay income tax. But in 6 to 8 years younger people will be paying for this extra money with a 20 to 30% cut in everyone's Social Security.
One of the biggest problems for so many, is that they only think a few days or months ahead and never see the coming long term consequences. For most it's money, but it's really no different from for the poor drug addicts who only think ahead to the next high and not to the lifetime consequences of those highs. So many only see the next money high and never see the long term consequences of their money problems. Sad, really.
The US is the richest nation on earth. It's Repubs who have wanted always to take away food and medicine from people who are already poor so they could invest for THEMSELVES all the money that goes to the poor, the old, and the injured. I'm with Jesus: Your money perish with you.
Where do they get this average of over $1000 presently? I don't know anyone who is receiving over $850!
Must be for government employees on SSI.
What about SSDI?
24% raise since 2022
@@Po1itica11yNcorrect Like a rug
I took my SS early but continued to work part time jobs. Then I went to work for a job that payed a lot more money. I have not received any money for the last 17 years of my highest earning years.
I'll believe it when i see it.
Social security has been a thorn in my side, and made my life 10 times more difficult, due to their incompetence and ignorance, I'm disabled and being discriminated by them,
Don't believe it. People who need it. Don't get squat.
And just a couple of days ago of the SSA changed the website and said it's going to be about a year before we start seeing anything because they have to get their act together.
Government workers get it, the rest of us are lucky to get cola increases…….. oh and politicians, thats nice.
The rest of you have received 24% in COLAs since 2022, and we're barely into 2025.
Your talking about fairness act not the rest of us
The people who need it won't get it that is why we are homeless and starving no medical no address and we are denied access to any services in NY. The cruelty had been nothing but torture and cruel. NY gloats over this abuse
I was under the assumption that the government workers got an extra amount in their government pension based on the fact that they lost their Social Security. And they will not feel the decrease when Social Security runs low on money. They were already compensated and took the job knowing that. Now they changed their minds and got away with it.
It’s for teachers; gov workers
What people don't understand is the only people getting this increase are retired government employees like firefighters police teachers not anyone that worked all their life in the public sector..
I did not know that!
