Reply #6: It's COLA... [View All]

[GTurck]

We too are on Social Security and have to live with the amount we got 2 years ago. Our only complaint is that Medicare costs are not frozen too. But the fact is that the flat economy means that COLA raises don't kick in; same with spouse's pension.
Non of this has anything to do with the viability of SS. If and when the economy starts to expand again and inflation, again, is a factor we will get COLA increases.
