Social Security recently announced a 1.6% cost of living adjustment for recipients of SSD and SSI benefits. The adjustment goes into affect in January, but in December you can see how much the dollar increase will be by logging onto your account at ssa.gov.
If you are not receiving benefits but are thinking about applying, you should consider hiring an attorney who specializes in disability. Please do not hesitate to contact my office staff for a free phone consultation. We have offices in Nassau and Suffolk Counties on Long Island.
