In 2013, AMAC—The Association of Mature American Citizens—took a big step with the creation of the AMAC Foundation, Inc., a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit entity designed to serve Americans. The Foundation’s mission is to help protect and ensure the financial security, health, and social lives of current and future mature Americans, and to help Americans navigate the bewildering array of decisions they need to make.
The Foundation’s projects and plans include providing factual information that improves understanding of the positive value of Social Security and Medicare and the current and long-term challenges these programs face, as well as providing interpretations by Certified Social Security Advisors through AMAC publications, workshops, webinars, podcasts, and telephone support.
In addition, the Foundation serves all Americans in a variety of capacities, including provision of a source of education on the principles of American Free Enterprise, long-term retirement financial planning, and preparing for life—and potential employment—after retirement.
We invite you to learn more about the Foundation and its operations at www.AmacFoundation.org
They make sure the costs are low for the three months that determine an increase or not-July, August, September. Then they raise the prices after that. I don’t care because they take one quarter of my SS check for federal taxes. How unfair is that? How about lowering the taxes on SS income? I help support a grown daughter. She could be taking from the system but me contributing to her income helps her stay off the publ9ic dole. Still, I am taxed!
When the many who hold office, have lots of money, what makes you think that they actually care about giving more money to the needs of others, who needs. Shame on the politicians who look the other way knowing the SENIORS are in trouble with the cost of living, raises of 1-2%, There needs to be a catch-up amount applied to loss we have suffered 33% less spending power since 2000. The way the raises are compiled with CPI-W looks at young workers, we need the CPI-E, Looks at Elderly Consumers, taking in considering the real facts of the cost of living, Medicare, Prescription drugs, Part B Payment from our Social Security, Rent , Ins etc, We can start by the Seniors not paying Medicare Part B $135.50, give us a immediate increase, then CPI-E, Congress do your job, and the seniors need to rise up!

I could go on and on. other (mostly women have been and still are in this situation of finances, no wonder this age group and older went on welfare system. this is not the first time this hurtful subject with mostly women has been brought up. I think it is about time someone helped us. HELP US……………..
Democrats want to do something and have a bill H.R.860/S.269 to do just that, Moscow Mitch in the Senate won’t pass it and trump won’t sign “The Social Security 2100 Act” into law, We need as the Visine TV Commercial said To Get The RED Out…
They have a suggestion that they limit the amount of taxes withheld on SS income up to 50,000 dollars. Why that arbitrary amount. People who have 401K savings will still have to pay taxes on their SS income. How uinfair is that?
I understand that Congress gave themselves a $40,000 a year raise they have done nothing absolutely nothing this year yet they got a raise would Congress like all of us just to die when the cost of living goes up by 1 or 2% and the real Facts of Life it’s more like five six 7% all of Congress needs to be replaced they need to resign and who set it up that the Rays or not is based on only 3 months you can go into bankruptcy you can do anything with the other nine they don’t give a damn
Why can’t or why will Congress not adjust the amount you can earn before your social security is taxed? It is based on 1984 and has not been raised to keep up with inflation.
Because Congress only gives themselves raises! And they don’t deserve what they make now!
Meanwhile, all us 70+ year old people have to suffer unless we go back to work!!!
