The Social Security Administration began the second Trump administration with a hostile takeover. It ends the year in turmoil.

Congress is currently considering two Social Security bills that could expand survivor benefits and boost monthly checks.

Beginning January 1, the state will implement a 100% tax deduction on Social Security benefits regardless of income level.

Social Security beneficiaries can have their benefits garnished if they have missed child support payments, have unpaid taxes or government debt, or have received an overpayment.
