James Cook+FollowWhy Your Rx Gets Denied More Often NowEver get that annoying pharmacy text saying your prescription wasn’t covered? You’re not alone—private health insurers are rejecting way more drug claims than they used to (up 25% since 2016!). Blame pricey new meds, AI bots sorting claims, and insurance middlemen. Sometimes it’s just a refill requested too soon, but other times, it means real delays or out-of-pocket costs. If you get denied, don’t give up—appealing can actually work! #Business #MakeMoney #HealthInsurance166Share

Robyn Anderson+FollowNo More Social Security Paper Checks?!Heads up if you (or your parents) still get Social Security by mail: starting this fall, the government is ditching paper checks for good. That means nearly 500,000 folks will need to switch to direct deposit or a prepaid debit card. Why the change? It’s all about getting your money faster and cutting down on lost or stolen checks. So, if you love that check in the mailbox, it’s time to go digital! #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity339Share
Willie Morales+FollowHealth Insurance Sticker Shock Ahead?Heads up: if you buy your own health insurance, your monthly bill could jump by 75% next year. The reason? Those pandemic-era discounts are ending, so premiums are shooting up. If you’re healthy, you might be tempted to skip coverage, but that could leave you on the hook for big medical bills if something happens. Plus, fewer healthy people in the pool means prices go up even more for everyone else. Time to check your budget and shop around! #Business #MakeMoney #HealthInsurance2725Share

Honest money chats might be awkward, but they save headaches later! #Business #MakeMoney #MoneyTalks1512Share
Diane Carter+FollowSocial Security Bump: Will It Be Enough?Heads up if you’re counting on Social Security! The 2026 cost-of-living boost (COLA) is now estimated at 2.7%—a bit higher than last forecast, thanks to rising prices. But here’s the catch: Medicare premiums are also jumping, so your monthly check might not stretch much further. If you’re retired or planning to be, now’s the time to review your budget, look for ways to trim expenses, or even consider a side hustle. Every little bit helps when prices keep climbing! #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity210141Share
cody79+FollowSocial Security's Rare Streak: What It MeansHeads up, retirees! Social Security is about to break a 29-year streak: for the fifth year in a row, your annual raise (COLA) will be over 2.5%. Sounds great, right? Not so fast—these bigger bumps are thanks to higher prices at the grocery store and gas pump, not just government generosity. If you’re on a fixed income, keep an eye on your budget, because this rare streak is more about inflation than extra spending money. #Business #MakeMoney #SocialSecurity301Share
