The Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced a new Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for the upcoming year, designed to help recipients manage rising inflation and increased living costs. Millions of Americans, particularly seniors, are set to benefit from this adjustment.
This year’s COLA represents a 3.2% increase, which is lower than last year’s historic 8.7% rise. Over 70 million beneficiaries, including retirees, disabled individuals, and others who rely on Social Security, will experience changes in their monthly payments starting in
January 2025.
Jury selection is set to begin Monday and expected to last three days, with three panels of 60 potential jurors being questioned to seat 12 jurors and four alternates. Opening statements are scheduled for September 11, and the trial may last up to four weeks, though it could conclude earlier.
