Seniors Can Claim Social Security, SSI Benefits
Medicare and SSI are also claimed by senior citizens, according to Marca. The COLA resulted in a 5.9% increase in monthly Social Security payments for around 70 million retired Americans, the most considerable boost in 40 years. The monthly payments are determined by your employment history and the age you first started receiving benefits.
