Don't hold your breath. Congress needs a raise first, they have been working so hard for WE THE PEOPLE.

Read the linked article. Social SecurityCOLA raises are done by formula, precisely to take political manipulation out of it. Final number is due out tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the link, 2B

cola or congress raise?

Hopefully SS, but then again congress will raise Part B payment so they can afford a 7 percent raise for themselves. No matter what the Foggy Bottom Boys/Girls will get theirs.

The Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment is based on the Consumer Price Index. It is not voted on by Congress.

Figmo Bohica 10-19-2011 06:29 AM
skip, you have it right on the raise for our hard working congress criminals and then to top it off, they will raise Part B by 3.6 percent. We should do just fine with less.

memason 10-19-2011 06:39 AM

Be happy!

Figmo Bohica 10-19-2011 08:07 AM
