The $250 One-Time Recovery Payment
We’ve received many emails asking whether Social Security recipients, veterans, and railroad retirees will receive a $250 payment in 2011, as they did in 2009.
Answer: In July 2010, a new bill was introduced that would provide the one-time $250 in 2011 in the event that no Social Security cost-of-living adjustment is payable next year.
In October 2010, the Social Security Administration announced that there would be no cost-of-living increase in 2011. Some members of Congress are seeking a vote on the bill introduced in July before the end of the year.

YES THAT IS MY QUESTION ALSO,WILL WE BE GETTING THE ONE-TIME PAYMENT THIS YEAR?
WHEN WILL WE GET THE PAYMENT? SOCIAL SECURITY HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF IT,SO WHAT’S REALLY THE TRUTH ABOUT IT? WE SOCIAL SECURITY AND SENIORS AND VA PEOPLE NEED THAT ONE-TIME PAYMENT OF$250,TO HELP US GET BY FOR THE MONTHS COMING.I’VE SPENT MONEY I HAD SAVED JUST TO STAY IN MY HOME,AND PAY MY BILLS SO WHAT WILL HAPPEN? THIS IS MY QUESTION TO YOU AND THE PRSIDENT? IF WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON IF POSSIBLE.
