SOCIAL SECURITY STATEMENTS GO ONLINE
Your Social Security information is now at your fingertips. The Social Security Administration website has added a new feature, My Social Security, which allows you to set up your personal page and access it at any time. It includes an online version of the statement that used to be mailed every year, plus estimates of your future retirement benefits, lifetime earnings to date and the total Social Security and Medicare taxes you've paid. To open an account, go to socialsecurity.gov/mystatement and answer a series of questions to verify your identity, then create a username and password.
BENEFITS TO INCREASE STARTING IN JANUARY
Social Security beneficiaries will see a slight bump in their checks beginning in January. That's when the 1.7 percent cost-of-living adjustment takes effect. The same percentage raise will apply to pensions for federal government retirees, and most military retirees and disabled veterans.
