WASHINGTON — Good news for seniors: The gov­ern­ment says Medicare’s basic monthly pre­mium will rise less than expected next year, by $3.50 for most. It could be good, too, for Pres­i­dent Barack Obama and Democ­rats strug­gling for older Amer­i­cans’ votes in a close election.

Social Security to hand out first raises since ‘09

WASHINGTON — Social Secu­rity recip­i­ents will get a raise in Jan­u­ary — their first increase in ben­e­fits since 2009. It’s expected to be about 3.5 per­cent. Some 55 mil­lion ben­e­fi­cia­ries will find out for sure Wednes­day when a gov­ern­ment infla­tion mea­sure that deter­mines the annual cost-of-living adjust­ment is released.
