In 2022, Social Security checks will have a big cost-of-living adjustment. But the Senior Citizens League says that this will not be enough. They say that some people will move into higher tax brackets because of the adjustment.

A special stimulus for Social Security recipients could offset the cost of health care and paying taxes. In 2017, Social Security benefited only increased by 1.3%. Some people who are not old might want the fourth stimulus check. More-than 2.9 million people have signed a petition that asks Congress to help families with $2,000 payments for adults and $1,000 payments for kids. They want these payments to happen right now, and they want them to keep happening until the crisis is over.
