I'm a widow raising a minor child. I worked until about a year after my husband died and my job of 28 years was off shored. I'm wasn't old enough for early retirement and my pension, so if it wasn't for SS survivors benefits my son and I would be homeless right now.
We do ok on SS and my husbands pension combined gives us just enough to get by and enables me to stay home and finish raising him (he's 12). This little increase I'm sure will go to the energy companies this winter and I won't have to worry so much about running the heat.
