"From monthly Social Security checks to what workers may owe in payroll tax, big changes are on the way for America's top retirement program.

The most important day of the year for Social Security's nearly 67 million beneficiaries has come and gone. This past week, on Oct. 12, 2023, the Social Security Administration (SSA) released the program's "Fact Sheet" for 2024, which outlines a host of changes that impact everything from the checks beneficiaries receive to the payroll taxes working Americans will owe.

Considering how vital Social Security is in helping seniors make ends meet during retirement, it pays to know how this dynamic program is changing."

Great ideas and informational videos from the Hoover Institution at Stanford University regarding the future of . "Waiting until the trust funds are depleted will also make it harder for policy makers to avoid painful solutions. [...] Rather than raising taxes, there are proposals to change how benefits grow." https://lnkd.in/gvN6Dpcg 💡

Last week, the Board of Trustees for Social Security’s trust funds released its annual report on the financial state of the program. Its findings? The nation’s largest government program is quickly running out of money.

I write these words with a heavy heart to say that our good friend and loyal client J. R. Richard departed this life in the early hours of August 5, 2021. I wanted posted earlier today but I had to take a moment to get my thoughts together to write this. J. R. was a 6’ 8” tall pitcher with the Houston Astros who was at the height of his game in the late 70’s when he struck out 1,493 batters and had total command of the mound with a 100+ mph fastball and his legendary slider. He was the first Astros pitcher to strikeout 303 batters in one year including W***y Mays, being only one of six pitchers to do that in modern times. In 1980 he suffered a stroke while warming up on the playing field which ended his major league career and afterward suffered severe financial hardship. We represented him in federal district court where a federal judge reversed the denial of his Social Security Disability Benefits. In 2019 he was inducted into the Astros Hall of Fame. Despite many misfortunes or his circumstances one thing always stood out; J.R. was resolute, unequivocal and certain. He was very forthright with no tentativeness about him. He was a prime living example of resiliency - - playing the best you can with the cards that have been dealt to you by the dealer, and with whatever resources you may have at your command, and that there is a God of second chances. Rest in peace with the angels my friend we will miss you terribly. It’s hard to believe that you are gone
