Social Security Benefit Changes in 2017
Social security payments will increase by 0,3% next year, the Social Security Administration said. This decision came because of the rise in the consumer price index.
The administration said it would increase profits from $ 118 500 to $ 127 200, starting in January 2017.
The statement was made a month after the Board of Trustees predicted that adjustments for the 2017 year would range from 0% to 0,7%.
The average monthly social security benefit in January 2017 will now be $ 1360, compared to $ 1355 before the increase, according to the government.
The news of a slight increase in social security revenues did not come as a surprise to the financial market.
