Bigger Social Security checks are a big deal in some small Oregon towns
Retirees amassing Social Safety received their greatest increase in 4 a long time in the beginning of the yr, an 8.7% bounce within the measurement of their checks — $146 extra every month, on common.
Meant to maintain tempo with inflation, the rise could seem small within the context of two years of quickly rising costs. However state economists say it’s very significant — particularly in elements of the state with a excessive focus of retirees.
