A Bridgeport man who is waiting for another kidney transplant says he is grateful for the news that federal government is increasing Social Security checks by 5.9%.
Frank Reese says he is thrilled by the increase in Social Security, which will mean almost $100 more a month for him.
Reese is one of about 70 million people, many retired and others disabled who will be getting a 5.9% cost-of-living adjustment beginning in 2022.
However, advocacy groups in Bridgeport say the increase doesn't come close to matching the actual 105% increase in the cost of living.
