Seniors across the country are facing tight financial pinches.
The Social Security Administration has announced that, for the second year in a row, they will not increase the Social Security benefit payment, according to newsok.com.
About 12 percent more residents 65 and older are receiving food stamps now than a year ago in Oklahoma.
For more than 24.4 percent of Oklahomans, Social Security makes up 90 percent of their family income. About 42,000 seniors get Social Security benefits averaging $1,203 a month in Oklahoma.
Do you think it’s fair to seniors that their Social Security benefit amount isn’t increasing for the second year to help with the cost of living increase? What do you think should be done to help seniors who are on Social Security?
