Rising inflation and the price increases that come with it may lead to the highest raise for senior citizens in decades. Social Security’s cost of living adjustment for this year, which began affecting payments in January, was 1.3%. It boosted benefit checks by an average $20. This year’s price hikes have gobbled up that increase.
