More than a million Kentuckians are getting a raise.
Social Security benefits are set to increase by 3.2% next year, according to AARP.
That translates to an extra $59 for the average recipient.
The increase reflects easing inflation.
This year, Social Security increase was more than 8% because of higher than usual inflation.
But as inflation has gone down, so has the Social Security rate hike.
The federal government says that as of December of 2020, slightly more than a million Kentuckians received social Security payments.
