The Social Security Administration (SSA) is warning Americans not to trust unexpected offers to activate a Social Security benefit following the agency’s announcement that it would make a higher-than-usual cost-of-living adjustment for 2023.
“That unexpected offer from the Social Security Administration to activate a benefit increase is from a criminal and not the real SSA. Do not share personal or financial information. Do not click on links or respond,” the agency said on Thursday, describing such offers as a scam.
It warned that criminals continue to impersonate the SSA and other agencies to try and obtain an individual’s personal information, cash, or get them to download malware.
About a week ago, the SSA announced it would make an 8.7 percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) due to decades-high inflation, starting in 2023. The agency last week said that recipients have to do nothing in order to receive the COLA, which is automatically added to retirees’ Social Security payments.
But after the announcement, there have been reports of scammers who are trying to trick people into giving up their financial and personal information via “deceptive text and email messages that lure recipients to a fake Social Security website,” the SSA’s Inspector General said.
“Criminals falsely advise recipients to apply to receive Social Security benefits or extra money, such as a cost-of-living adjustment, or to set up an online account,” it said. “The message may also provide fake contact information for SSA.”
Generally, federal government agencies like the SSA or Internal Revenue Service communicate with people via mail, not through text messages or phone calls.
“If there is a problem, we will mail you a letter,” the SSA says. “Generally, we will only contact you if you have requested a call or have ongoing business with us.”
COLA
The COLA will into effect starting with the December 2022 benefits. Those appear in checks and payments that are sent out in January 2023, according to the agency.
Meanwhile, the 8.7 percent increase announced for 2023 is the largest since 1981—when the increase was 11.2 percent. The largest increase ever came in 1980 when the United States was in the midst of a deep recession and suffering soaring inflation.
Data released by the Department of Labor last week shows the consumer price index, a key inflation metric, reached 8.2 percent year-over-year.
“Medicare premiums are going down and Social Security benefits are going up in 2023, which will give seniors more peace of mind and breathing room. This year’s substantial Social Security cost-of-living adjustment is the first time in over a decade that Medicare premiums are not rising and shows that we can provide more support to older Americans who count on the benefits they have earned,” Acting Social Security Commissioner Kilolo Kijakazi said in a press release last week.

SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIANTS NEED THE MISSER 8.2% INCREASE YESTERDAY NOT IN 2023 BY THEN THEY CAN STICK THEIR INCREASE UP WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE.

TRUMP COULD HAVE DONE IT EVEN NOW THAT WE ALL KNOW HE ALWAYS KEPT THE PRESIDENTIAL POWER OF THE OFFICE. TO PLACE ENOUGH MONEY IN THE IN THE FINANCIAL PACKAGES HE DID APROVE WHEN HE WAS OFFICIALY STILL IN OFFICE BUT INSTEAD HE LET THE JEW HE APOINTED TO BE SECRETARY OF THE DEPARTAMENT OF TRESURY ,TO GIVE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO PROTECT THE JEW OWNED CORPORATIONS AND PRIVATE JEW OWNED BUISNESS WITH BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVEN HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THOSE JEW CORPORATIONS WERE THE ONES CAUSING THE FINANCIAL CHAOS WE POOR PEOPLE ARE FACING THIS AND NEXT MONTH.
THERE WAS NO NEED FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO HAVE TO EXPERIENCE A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE IF IT WAS NOT FOR HIS CHOSEN PHILOSOPHY ON HOW TO WAKE UP THE IDOCTRINATED IDIOTS THAT EVEN WHEN MANY OF US WERE TRYING TO WAKE THEM UP WOULD REFUSE TO WAKE UP.
MEAN TIME WHILE OUR MILITARY WERE REAL BUSY SAVING CHILDREN THAT WERE USED AS SEXTOYS AND THEIR BODIES WERE USED AS FOOD CONSUMPTION, THERE MILLIONS OF BABIES THAT WERE BEEN VACCINATED WITH THE SATANIC JABS INCLUDING THEIR MOTHERS AND ELDERLY PEOPLE. AND THE ONE THAT HE WOULD BALME IS GOD CLAIMING THAT GOD WAS THE ONE THAT CHOSE WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES. WHILE HE KEEPS HIS OWN WEALTHY FAMILY AND ELITIST PORTION OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC FINANCILAY STRONG TO OVERCOME THE CHAOS COMING DOWN THE PIPE, HOPING THAT HIS OWN LEADERSHIP WILL TAKES ALL TROUGH THE SO-CALLED NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE SET FOR ALL POOR FAMILIES THAT HAD THEIR HOMES REPOSES BY THE CRIMINAL JEWISH BANKERS AND THROWN OUT ON THE STREETS LIVING IN THEIR CARS OR IN TENTS ON SIDEWALKS EVERY WHERE ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
THOSE ARE THE GRIVANCES I HAVE AGAINST DONALD TRUMP WITH ONE HAND HAS DONE LOTS OF GOOD TO AMERICA BUT WITH THE OTHER HAND HE HAS ALSO DONE A GREAT DEAL OF HARM TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THIS IS THE REASON WHY I WORSHIP NO MAN NOR WOMAN, SPECIALY WHEN THEY ARE IN SITS OF POWER THAT CAN AFECT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHILE ALWAYS PROTECTING THE WEALTHY THAT PUTS THEM IN POWER.

Trump never forced anyone to get vaccinated. He said it was our “choice “. Without the coercion/mandate, time would have revealed its ineffectiveness and health dangers. It was never a vaccine for a virus that has never been found/isolated.
The Deep State octopus has many tentacles that need removal/destruction. Having patience can be challenging but can also bring peace. All in God’s hand, in God’s time ❤️ Smile. It takes less muscles to smile—more to frown.
