Checks for 66 million beneficiaries will rise between 0.2% to 0.5% in 2017. That works out to between $2.61 and $6.53 a month more for the typical retiree, according to the American Institute for Economic Research, a nonpartisan think tank.

Oh boy. That's a meal at Mc Do. If you have a bit of spare change to make up the difference.

I hope the Canadian pension goes up too.  There is talk in the news of an increase but we shall see.
