The Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company has released its annual Social Security retirement benefits quiz results where 1,500 Americans nearing retirement age (55-65) but have not started receiving Social Security benefits answer true or false questions about the program. 35% of respondents failed, another 34% got a D on the quiz, and only 31% could get a C or better. The quiz is based on 13 true or false questions ranging from retirement age to taxation of benefits. How would you do on this true/false quiz?

AMAC Action is now calling on the Senate to swiftly pass the bill. At a time when hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars are lost to fraud each year, the Deporting Fraudsters Act represents a necessary and long-overdue step toward restoring accountability. Ensuring that those who abuse the system are removed from the country is not just sound policy – it is a basic obligation that lawmakers have to the American people.

Is Social Security’s Annual Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) Guaranteed?

Social Security's annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) isn't guaranteed. Each year's COLA compares third-quarter CPI-W averages, but if inflation falls, the result can be zero—as it was in 2016 and twice more this century. By law, COLA can never be negative. Learn how the process works, why adjustments vary with economic cycles, and what current projections suggest for the 2027 benefit increase.
