Is your Social Security benefit lower in 2022?

With all the talk about the 2022 Social Security COLA, most seniors enjoyed a higher payment this year.

However, not everyone saw the bump up in benefits they believed they were on track for. Even those who track their finances closely may not have accounted for their benefit dropping.

Everything from changes to Medicare to changes in your income and withholding levels could cause a reduction in your benefit. But one way you can work to raise your benefit is to push for yearly adjustments based on inflation.

Here at NORA, we know seniors want all the Social Security benefits they are due. We campaign for fair yearly COLAs, and bring you Social Security news every week on Facebook and Twitter.
