Spousal Social Security Benefits Are

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports that Snapchill LLC out of Green Bay, WI, is recalling all canned coffee products out of concern the company’s current manufacturing process could lead to the growth and production of botulinum toxin, a deadly toxin. The company failed to file its process for manufacturing with the FDA. The coffee products are low-acid foods requiring a specific canning process to prevent botulism, a potentially fatal form of food poisoning that can result from consuming a product with botulinum toxin. To date, there have been no illnesses reported. How To Identify the Recalled Canned Coffees The canned coffees were distributed nationwide through various coffee roasters and retail locations. They were also sold directly online from Snapchill, although to date, the company’s website makes no mention of the voluntary recall. The canned coffees were sold under various roaster and brand names in can sizes ranging from 7 ounces to 12 ounces. The FDA lists the specific products, over 250 of them, that fall under the recall.

Supreme Court rules against California

A 2.57% increase would add about $49 to the $1,917 average Social Security check as of May 2024. It's not a lot, but it might be the biggest increase seniors can expect for years to come.

Something That Hasn

In May, 51 million retired-worker beneficiaries took home an average Social Security check totaling $1,916.63, which works out to $23,000 on an annualized basis. While this might not sound like a game-changing amount of money, the average retiree would struggle mightily without their guaranteed monthly benefit.
