  • New Social Security Changes in 2017: What Do They Mean?

    Mar 7, 2017

    When it comes to Social Security, the government sometimes gives and often takes away. This year it's taking away a little more from workers while the amount it parcels out to retirees barely climbs. It hardly seems like a win-win for either group, as the Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2017 rises just 0.3%, meaning about $5 extra per month for the average recipient. That’s barely enough to buy a carton of milk, though it’s actually better than last year, when COLA didn’t rise at all. http://www.bemidjip...
