Retired and need more benefits? Lost your husband and now only have a small income based on his tiny salary? Are you working to the bone in your old age, wishing you could retire and get benefits now? Well, JFK is listening. Today he signs Public Law 87-64. Social Security will now give more money to widows and retirees, and workers can get reduced benefits if they retire early at 62. A mere 1/4% tax increase should cover the costs.
