Many seniors in the Bronx are facing poverty, study finds
Many older adults in the Bronx are living in poverty and left without the option to retire, according to a study by The Center for an Urban Future. Jonathan Bowles, executive director of The Center for an Urban Future, said the study looked at data from 2013-2023, and the findings in the Bronx were alarming. "Twenty-five percent of all older adults in the Bronx today are living in poverty. It's the highest rate in the entire state of New York, and we've seen an increase by over 50% over the last decade," said Bowles. Bowles said as the number of Bronx residents 65 and older continues to increase, so does their vulnerability. "So many people work their lives making fairly low wages, they didn't have enough money. And in a city with such a high cost of living to put money aside for retirement and, for many of them, particularly those who are immigrants, they're not benefiting fully from Social Security. In fact, we find that a pretty significant share of older adults in the Bronx are not receiving any Social Security income," Bowles said. In fact, the study, which received support from the AARP, reports 63.6% of Bronx residents over 70 do not have retirement income, and nearly one in four reported no Social Security income. Bowles said there are a number of things that are needed from the state to combat the issue. "More than ever, these low income older adults are relying on food banks for their meals. Many of them are really falling into poverty at old age. We've got to make sure that there are the kind of Meals on Wheels programs that deliver to folks that can't get out to those food banks. We as a city need to be investing in housing, affordable housing for seniors," said Bowles. While living in their Bronx apartment for nearly 30 years, Patrick and Audrey Hoover have witnessed changes in their neighborhood and have adapted to stretching their dollars. "We're shopping a lot more, but we're buying a lot less, or our funds are just not going as far as it used to," said Audrey Hoover. Although the Hoovers are able to cut costs, they hope more will be done to help seniors. "Whether it's health care, whether it's other benefits for seniors, a lot of times they're not taking into consideration the tech savviness of seniors and the language and things like that. So if any of these things could be addressed, in whatever ways," Hoover said. To see the report from The Center for an Urban Future, click here.

Social Security Disability Insurance July 2025: Your Money Is Headed Out
July's SSDI checks are headed to beneficiaries soon. Here's this month's payment schedule. CNET We're nearly half way through the month of July, and Social Security Disability Insurance recipients are set to receive their payments this week or next if they didn't get it in the past two weeks. If you're not sure exactly when you should receive your payment, we have it all covered below for you. The Social Security Administration sends monthly payments to people with disabilities that prevent or limit their ability to work. Depending on their individual situation, others may qualify and can apply for SSDI as well. We'll break down the full SSDI payment schedule for the month of July and how your payment date is calculated so you'll know exactly when you can expect your check. For more, here's what you can do if your last payment never arrived, and here's the Supplemental Security Income payment schedule. If you've had SSDI since May 1997 or earlier, or also receive SSI If you started getting SSDI before May 1997, you'd usually receive your payment on the third day of every month. Note that this isn't always the case, like when the third day falls on a weekend or holiday. For 2025, this will happen in August, so you can expect to receive that month's payment one to two days earlier. If you also receive Supplemental Security Income, you'll fall into this category. You'll receive your SSDI payment on the third of every month and your SSI payment on the typical day, the first of the month. For everyone else, payments are birth date-dependent If you began receiving SSDI after May 1997 and don't also receive SSI, then your payment date is determined by the day of the month you were born. Payments are typically paid out on the second, third and fourth Wednesday of the month. Which Wednesday you get your check breaks down like this: Birthdate between Social Security check date 1st and 10th of the month Second Wednesday of the month 11th and 20th of the month Third Wednesday of the month 21st and 31st of the month Fourth Wednesday of the month Here's when you'll get your SSDI payment in July Here's when your SSDI payment should arrive this month: If you've received Social Security before May 1997 July 3 If your birthday falls between day 1 and 10 of the month July 9 If your birthday falls between day 11 and 20 of the month July 16 If your birthday falls between day 21 and 31 of the month July 23 How does 2025 COLA affect my payment? The COLA for 2025 introduced a 2.5% increase in monthly benefit checks, but exactly how much of an increase will depend on several factors. Any monthly income, how long you've received benefits and what type of benefit you receive can result in a different payment increase. Recipients should have received their COLA notice sometime in December with specific details on their case. A COLA of 2.5% will add about $48 to the average benefits check. For more, don't miss four ways you could lose your Social Security benefits and how to apply for SSI.

Dear Abby: I don't know how I'll survive if Social Security gets cut
DEAR ABBY: My spouse and I are retired and on Social Security. We've both worked hard all our lives and are content living a modest retirement. Our house is paid for, and we have little debt. However, we're both experiencing physical and mental decline. I worry about our house. We aren't able to clean and maintain it like we used to because of our physical limitations. We used to have parties, but we're embarrassed to have people over now, which means we're kind of isolated. We also worry that our Social Security and Medicare benefits will be stripped away. We rely on them to live. We both paid into the system since age 15. Shouldn't we expect to reap the benefits of paying into the system all these years? We worry all the time about the future, which seems so grim right now. Even if we can survive the next few years, I'm increasingly concerned about the disintegration of our home. I am not sure where to turn. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. — WORRIED ABOUT THE FUTURE DEAR WORRIED: If there is a senior center in your community, reach out and ask if there are any services that could assist you in finding reasonably priced help with your house. As to your embarrassment about entertaining friends, that concern may be you want company, invite friends over for afternoon tea, a picnic or a barbecue outside if the weather permits. Regarding your anxiety about Social Security, you are far from alone in feeling worried. Approximately 70 million American seniors are worrying right along with you. Every senior should be writing to their local politicians, their state representatives, congresspersons and senators reminding them that those benefits were paid for and, if they are interfered with, it could cost them the next election. DEAR ABBY: I'm a single, never married man. I was having trouble finding a nice woman to date, so I bought a T-shirt from a dating website to show the women at the grocery and hardware stores that I'm single and looking for a date. I now have a new problem — women at the hardware store and grocery stores keep coming up to me, asking about my shirt and trying to get a date with me. I am grateful for it, although I'm having trouble deciding which one I want to go out with. How do I tell the ones I am not interested in that I'm busy or seeing someone else? They don't want to take no for an answer. — FLOODED IN FLORIDA DEAR FLOODED: Stop saying no so quickly. If you are looking for someone special, you are going to have to do some sifting. As you will discover, dating is a process of trial and error. You may find your taste in women will change if you experience a few of them (or more). P.S. I'm sorry you didn't mention which website you bought that T-shirt from. Do they also come in women's sizes?
