Have you noticed there is a Social Security Benefits increase this year? This is due to a cost of living adjustment (COLA) they are implementing for just about 65 million Social Security beneficiaries in January 2023. If you are receiving benefits you would have been notified of this increase in December of 2022.
Why is this important to your estate planning?
