*rubs eyes* OK, maybe I need to get my eye glasses checked but I didn't see anything in your link backing up the above statement.

I also don't remember receiving the letter from SSA--you must be special!

I am Special for sure : )

You are on SS and Did not receive a letter ???
They are normally pretty good about that.
I mean I get mail from all the time, plus e mail updates.

I gave George Boy credit for such a large increase , but truth
is, he really had nothing to do with it. but, I'll let you have
that one, God knows He needs something positive to his credit , lol

It was based on The Cost of Living of 5.8% in 2008.
Hence COLA.

I know how the whole COLA thing works, but didn't know that they knew back in '08 (under Bush)that we would not get a COLA in 2010. That's what I was trying to find.

I think I've come to the conclusion that they only sent letters to Dems stating that <i>they</i> wouldn't get a COLA in 2010! lol I'm just joking before anyone comes unglued!!!

As for Rita, you should send a PM to Julie (entry above mine) re: SSDI. I don't remember how that all works re: if you had to have been off of full-time employment for a certain period of time before you can file for SSDi, etc. but she sure does!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
