Rep. Sam Farr Hails Legislation to Provide One-Time $250 Check for Seniors |
Special Stipend to make up for Lack of Cost-of-Living-Adjustment for Next Year
Washington, DC – Congressman Sam Farr (D-Carmel), a cosponsor of the legislation, today hailed the announcement from House Democrats to move ahead with legislation to provide Social Security recipients with a one-time $250 payment. The Social Security Administration announced on Friday that there will be no automatic Cost-of-Living-Adjustment for 2011. That means that 2011 will be the second consecutive year that Social Security retirees, veterans, and people with disabilities will see no increase in their monthly Social Security, SSI, VA Pension and Compensation, and Railroad Retirement benefits.
