Calls for more money, continued
Retired workers will now see, on average, their monthly check increase from $1,565 to $1,657 a month.
Meanwhile, a typical couple’s benefits will increase by $154 – from $2,599 to $2,753 per month.
Some are wondering if there will be a $200 increase to the payment, according to Marca. There are no plans in place, yet, to make this a reality.
If this were to happen, a recipient’s benefit last year would’ve needed to be $3,389. This exceeded the maximum benefit of $3,895.
