How much can social security benefits increase?

Question

With gas prices destroying our economy and causing all other prices to rise, how much can our beloved seniors expect as an increase in their benefits for next year? Can our system afford to grant the regularly formulated cost of living increase when the cost of living is going nuts????

Answer 1

Well, I've been receiving ss disability for 2 years and my benefits have  increase at the rate of $20 per year, but I'm sure they have been generous considering the cost of living increases lately. ;-)
