Did you know there is a way for the U.S. government to pay you an annual income in retirement of nearly $55,000? Here's what you can do to get this Social Security benefit.
Social Security payments for spousal benefits can be as much as half of the worker's "primary insurance amount," which depends on the spouse's age at retirement.
The Social Security Administration is expected to send letters to beneficiaries in December, including information about how much their Social Security benefits will be next year, taking into account the 2023 COLA.
Social Security benefits will be getting a boost, which means many beneficiaries are eligible for additional financial assistance programs such as Medicare and SNAP benefits or food stamps.
