一 | WASHINGTON -- Millions of Social Security recipients will get a 3.2% increase in their benefits in 2024, far less than this year's historic boost and reflecting moderating consumer prices.The cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, means the average recipient will receive more than $50 more every month beginning in January, the Social Security Administration said Thursday. The AARP estimated that increase at $59 per month. “This will help millions of people keep up with expenses,” said Kilolo Kijakazi, Social Security’s acting commissioner.About 71 million people — including retirees, disabled people and children — receive Social Security benefits. Thursday's announcement follows this year’s 8.7% benefit increase, brought on by record 40-year-high inflation, which pushed up the price of consumer goods. With inflation easing, the next annual increase is markedly smaller.“Compared to last year's 8.7% increase, this is going to feel small and the perception is that its not keeping up with the inflation and the higher costs that retirees are still seeing,” said Martha Shedden, president of the National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts.On top of that, an anticipated increase in Medicare premiums for 2024 will eat into the Social Security cost-of-living bump.Medicare hasn’t announced the increase for traditional Medicare, but said the cost of Medicare Advantage plans is expected to remain stable.Still, senior advocates applauded the annual Social Security adjustment.“Retirees can rest a little easier at night knowing they will soon receive an increase in their Social Security checks to help them keep up with rising prices,” AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins said. “We know older Americans are still feeling the sting when they buy groceries and gas, making every dollar important." Social Security is financed by payroll taxes collected from workers and their employers. The maximum amount of earnings subject to Social Security payroll taxes will be $168,600 for 2024, up from $160,200 for 2023. Retirees whose sole income comes from Social Security are not subject to taxes on that income.Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works, an advocacy group for the social insurance program, said that the COLA is a “reminder of Social Security’s unique importance" and that “Congress should pass legislation to protect and expand benefits.”However, the program faces a severe financial shortfall in the coming years.The annual Social Security and Medicare trustees report released in March said the program’s trust fund will be unable to pay full benefits beginning in 2033. If the trust fund is depleted, the government will be able to pay only 77% of scheduled benefits, the report said.There have been legislative proposals to shore up Social Security, but they have not made it past committee hearings.A March poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that most U.S. adults are opposed to proposals that would cut into Medicare or Social Security benefits, and 79% of people polled said they oppose reducing the size of Social Security benefits.The Social Security Administration is still without a permanent leader. President Joe Biden in July nominated former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley to lead the agency.The COLA is calculated according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Price Index, or CPI. But there are calls for the agency to instead use a different index, the CPI-E, which measures price changes based on the spending patterns of the elderly, like health care, food and medicine costs.Any change to the calculation would require congressional approval. But with decades of inaction on Social Security and with the House at a standstill after the ouster of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., seniors and their advocates say they don’t have confidence any sort of change will be approved soon. The cost of living adjustments will have a big impact on people like Alfred Mason, an 83-year-old Louisiana resident. Mason said that “any increase is welcomed, because it sustains us for what we are going through.”As inflation is still high, he said, anything added to his income “would be greatly appreciated.”。
二 | 我们要看到，经过两年多抗疫大战的考验，全行业在疫情防控方面更加从容，广大游客的心态也越来越平稳。今年以来，尤其是端午假期和暑期旅游旺季，各地抢抓市场复苏机遇，加大助企纾困力度，推出一系列助企惠民活动和特色旅游产品，文化和旅游行业复苏势头持续向好，旅游市场回暖活力继续增强，全社会对“双节”出游充满期待，行业和各地对“双节”假日旅游市场充满信心。同时，我们也要看到，当前国内疫情多点散发，疫情防控形势依然严峻复杂。节假日期间，人员流动性和聚集性会增加，疫情传播风险和防控难度进一步加大，更需以严而又严、细而又细、实而又实的精神状态和工作作风，狠抓疫情防控。毫无疑问，高效统筹“双节”疫情防控和假日旅游市场工作，以实际行动迎接党的二十大胜利召开，是广大人民群众、旅游市场主体和行业的共同期盼及使命担当。在此背景下，疫情防控无疑是做好“双节”假日旅游市场工作绕不开的考量因素和重要前提。各地文化和旅游部门要坚决贯彻落实党中央“疫情要防住、经济要稳住、发展要安全”的要求，把握“双节”假日特点，积极主动担当作为，既要严格、科学、精准防控疫情，又要用心、用情、用功深耕市场，确保假日旅游市场平稳运行，确保让游客度过健康、安全、快乐、祥和的中秋国庆假期。一是坚持科学精准，筑牢防控屏障。
三 | 近期，北京、上海、陕西等地区发布了针对“双节”出游的防疫提醒，多地倡导就地过节。
四 | 全行业要始终绷紧疫情防控这根弦，坚持“外防输入、内防反弹”总策略和“动态清零”总方针不动摇，认真执行新型冠状病毒肺炎防控第九版方案，压紧压实各方疫情防控责任，落细落实戴口罩、验码测温、保持安全社交距离、旅游景区“限量、预约、错峰”等各项疫情防控措施。突出在科学精准防控上下功夫，着力排查风险点位，堵塞防控漏洞，筑牢防控屏障，强化疫情防控“力度”，呵护假日旅游“温度”。
五 | 二是加大市场供给，丰富游客体验。一方面，中秋国庆是全国人民十分重视的节日，“双节”期间恰逢第十三届中国艺术节举办，国庆节过后又将喜迎党的二十大胜利召开，正是涵养人们家国情怀、砥砺强国之志的最好时机。另一方面，“双节”假日旅游市场仍将保持本地、周边游市场加速复苏，长线游企稳回升的基本发展态势，长线游市场能否进一步打开，仍需视国内疫情发展情况而定。在这一特殊背景和趋势下，各地应鼓励和引导市场主体针对“双节”特点，结合当下“航天热”“非遗热”“运动热”等，进一步细分深耕市场，积极研发月圆中秋、红色旅游、研学旅游、非遗体验、主题乐园、房车露营等特色产品，增强游客的体验。
六 | 三是着力加强监管，维护市场秩序。“双节”假日旅游市场环境，关乎各地的美誉度和游客的满意度，是检验各地行业治理能力的“试金石”。各级文化和旅游部门要坚持以人民为中心，积极协调加大综合执法力度，在规范企业经营行为、提高服务质量、优化消费环境上下功夫；坚持问题导向，针对重点环节、重点领域、重点场所和游客反映的突出问题，按照“执行、督查、反馈、改进”闭环管理要求，综合运用行政、科技、经济等多种手段，严厉打击违法违规经营行为，维护良好市场秩序。要强化安全意识和底线思维，围绕“吃住行游购娱”全要素链条，采取明察暗访、综合督查等方式，全面排查整治各类安全隐患，做好“双节”假日旅游市场安全工作。四是注重密切协同，提高应急处置能力。做好“双节”期间疫情防控及假日旅游市场工作，既需要相关部门团结配合、密切协作，也离不开全社会的理解、支持与监督。各地文化和旅游部门要在当地假日工作领导小组的统筹下，充分发挥职能作用，强化与公安、应急、交通、卫健、气象等部门的沟通协调，结合当前疫情防控形势和当地实际，科学制定“双节”假日工作方案和应急预案，并有针对性地加强培训与演练。各级文化和旅游部门要强化应急值守，遇有突发事件或紧急情况，能够快速、坚决、果断处置。一旦发生疫情，要以坚决的态度、有效的举措、最快的速度控制住疫情，阻断疫情传播。返回搜狐，查看更多责任编辑：
