Social Security Announces 8.7 Percent Benefit Increase for 2023

https://www.ssa.gov/news/en/press/releases/2022-10-13.html

So either your parents were getting $115 from social security, or you are trying to report increase of a year with essentially 0% inflation as if it were the year with 9% inflation.

I have the numbers right here. Monthly payment went up from $2455 to $2465. So that's $10.

This is not from a press release or news article, it's from the actual check that got deposited monthly.
