Social Security checks to rise? A look at past adjustments
By Brittany De LeaPublished October 10, 2018Personal FinanceFOXBusiness
The Social Security Administration will tell retirees on Thursday how much of a bump to expect in their checks next year, and some experts project it could be the biggest in years.
The Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan senior advocacy organization, forecasts benefits will jump by 2.8 percent in 2019 – which would be the largest increase in seven years.
