Social Security Benefits and Cost of Living: Protecting Against Inflation

Wed, 22 May 2013 18:00:27 GMT

Source: blog.heritage.org --- Wednesday, May 22, 2013
Adopting the chained CPI (Consumer Price Index) in social security to more accurately account for changes in the cost of living is a small first step toward fixing a broken program that is currently accelerating its own demise by paying excess benefits. Fifty-seven million Americans receive social security benefits, and many live on these benefits alone. It is imperative that Congress reform the system well before automatic benefit cuts decimate the benefits of retirees in need. One reason the system is in trouble is that the social security Administration is paying cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) based on an outdated and inaccurate index that overstates changes in the cost of living. COLAs based on the chained CPI would still increase benefits to keep pace with inflation over the next decade: by $197 for someone who retires after a lifetime earning the minimum wage, by $248 for average wage earner retirees, and by $533 for maximum taxable wage earner retirees. But without reform, social security will pay out excess benefits. As Heritage’s Romina Boccia and Rachel Greszler write in a new Heritage report : Compared to a more accurate inflation adjustment, current benefit payments will result in an additional $43 per month by 2023 for a minimum wage worker retiring in 2013, an additional $54 per month for the average retired worker, and an extra $117 per month for a maximum wage earner retiring in 2013. These benefits are in exc ...

Made poorer by choice: worker outcomes in Social Security v. private retirement accounts

Early withdrawals from retirement accounts are a double-edged sword, because withdrawals reduce retirement resources, but they also allow individuals to smooth consumption when they experience demographic and economic shocks. Using tax data, we show that pre-retirement withdrawals increased between 2004 and 2010, especially after 2007, but early withdrawal rates are substantial (relative to new contributions) in all of those years. Early withdrawal events are strongly correlated with shocks to income and marital status, and lower-income taxpayers are more likely to experience the types of shocks associated with early withdrawals and more likely to have a taxable withdrawal when they experience a given shock. ...

I will try to get contact information from the ‘front desk’ as to who to contact for follow up. My husband will be with me and I would like for him to photo the situation, only because I have never done anything like this before and I am a little frightened. So, if I get a photo or two I will send them to you. I have never affiliated with any particular party in my life, but now it is official I am with the Tea Party, and will be in contact wth my local Tea Partiers as soon as I can find some.

RELEASE Not So ‘New Kind Of Republican’: Gomez In Lockstep With National GOP Leaders Like McCain On Guns, Taxes, Social Security, Wall Street & Choice

(BOSTON)- First Newt . Then the NRSC . Now, John McCain. So much for being a “new kind of Republican.” National Republicans are flocking to Gabriel Gomez because they know he’d bring them one step closer to controlling the Senate and enacting a radical agenda that’s bad for Massachusetts. And when it comes to John McCain… he and Gomez are typical Republicans in the worst kind of way. They both oppose commonsense gun laws such as a ban on assault weapons and limits on high-capacity magazines. They’re both pro-life Republicans who can’t be trusted to protect a woman’s right to choose, and won’t support women’s access to contraception. They both oppose landmark Wall Street Reform that included critical consumer protections. Both support devastating cuts to social security, and can’t be trusted to protect the program. And both are opposed to asking the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes. “Gabriel Gomez joining John McCain in Washington would mean one more Republican vote against an assault weapons ban, limits on high-capacity magazines and a woman’s right to choose. Gomez would vote with McCain against asking the super-wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes, while rolling back rules on Wall Street and enacting devastating cuts to social security,” said Massachusetts Democratic Party Chair John Walsh . “It comes as no surprise for national GOP leaders like John McCain to flock to Massachusetts to stump for Gabriel Gomez becaus ...
