In 2015, Social Security recipients will see a 1.7 percent
\ncost-of-living increase<\/a> in benefits. This small increase comes on the
\nheels of several years of other small to non-existent increases: in
\n2014, Social Security recipients received a 1.5 percent increase, and
\nno increase at all was given in 2010 or 2011.<\/p>\n

Although
\nany increase is better than nothing, such a small change won\u2019t go
\nfar for most Social Security recipients. The average Social Security
\nrecipient collects about $1,300 each month, so a 1.7 percent increase
\nis about $22.00 more each month.<\/p>\n

Every
\nyear, the Bureau of Labor Statistics adjusts Social Security benefits
\nto match any cost-of-living increase measured by the Consumer Price
\nIndex.<\/p>\n

Some
\nseniors will see their Medicare Part D premiums go up; for those who
\ndo see premium increases, the Social Security raise may offset the
\nincrease.<\/p>\n
