Three years ago (?), I saw an interesting statistic: we Social Security folks got an 8.7% COLA … but folks on public assistance (welfare, etc.) got a 12.5% COLA …
That's the only time I've found both numbers mentioned -- let alone compared -- and searching just a minute ago didn't yield any information about the public assistance COLA … I wonder why.

I am seeing that welfare recipients and SS recipients get the same COLA????
