The Rumor Mill in Action…No, you’re not getting a bonus Social Security Check in June
Several less-than-reputable sources have been trumpeting the rumor that Social Security recipients will be getting a $600–or $638–increase in their benefits this month. Here’s a piece of advice…don’t spend it in advance! In many cases, these types of rumors result from articles posted as attention-getters by suspect websites and, once out on the airwaves, are picked up by content generators and artificial intelligence aggregators and spread throughout the internet.
Check out this video post by Fox West Texas (myfoxzone.com) for a brief video explaining this popular rumor, and heed their advice to call the Social Security Administration or the AMAC Foundation Social Security Advisory Service if you have any doubts.
