NFL on Netflix: Christmas Day games are a 1st for streaming giantIn the United States, retirees must meet certain criteria established by Social Security to maintain their benefits. Beneficiaries are required to update personal information, adhere to taxable income limits, and report any relevant changes to avoid fines or suspension of their Social Security checks. In addition, new income limits will be implemented by 2025 that may affect some beneficiaries’ eligibility. SSA requires all beneficiaries to disclose any significant changes in their circumstances. This includes a relocation, a new job that changes reported income, marital status, or any other change that impacts family composition. This information is important since it has a direct impact on the amount of Social Security checks received each month . Social Security checks will change, and some retirees could be left without their $1,960 check Serious repercussions may result from breaking the previously mentioned assignment, which could include anything from a brief suspension of Social Security checks to the permanent termination of payments. Similarly, if significant changes are not communicated, money that was wrongfully obtained may have to be repaid. For instance, failing to disclose a change of address, a new job, or an increase in income may result in payment suspension. Beneficiaries also need to make sure that the registration residence is accurate and that they don’t leave the country for longer than 30 days without telling the authorities. An additional deciding aspect is immigration or legal status. To prevent issues with Social Security checks, any change in citizenship status or the presence of a criminal record must be disclosed right away. Social Security confirmed changes in taxable income limits for next year The Social Security Administration will raise the taxable earnings cap for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) starting in 2025 . This cap will rise from $168,600 to $176,100, meaning that Social Security taxes will be paid on a greater percentage of workers’ income. This change will impact both contributions and SSDI beneficiaries. To remain eligible, they must comply with the new income limits. Those who surpass this amount may lose their Social Security checks, emphasizing the significance of cautious planning and monitoring of annual income. Compliance with regulations and frequent communication with the Social Security Administration (SSA) are critical for ensuring that benefits are not terminated. The following are the primary steps recommended by the agency on its official website: More than 100,000 beneficiaries will no longer receive Social Security checks Figures from the SSA show that last year more than 100,000 people were removed from the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) lists across the country. For example, approximately 7,380,740 Americans were getting SSI payments in May 2023, and 7,261,340 received Social Security checks in May 2024, a reduction of 119,395 from May 2023 to this past May. If you are presently receiving SSI benefits or want to apply for this Social Security program, find out more about the causes that have contributed to this reduction of recipients. Most of the 7.2 million recipients of Social Security checks are from this population, with 6 million aged 65 and over and 1.1 million aged 65 and over. The number of blind or disabled recipients no longer receiving Social Security checks fell by 140,034 from 6,281,068 in May 2023 to 6,141,034 in May 2024, while the 65+ group increased by 20,639 from the previous year. It is challenging to identify the reason behind the drop in the number of blind and low-vision users throughout this time. According to Newsweek, more than 10,000 people in several states have been denied SSI benefits, raising serious worries about the impact of this dramatic decision on their well-being. In California, nearly 17,000 disabled recipients, mostly blind or disabled, will be ineligible for SSI between May 2023 and 2024, resulting in 16,573 fewer applications.Watch Lavrov's Interview With US Journalist Tucker Carlson in Full

AP Sports SummaryBrief at 12:12 a.m. ESTMIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Mike McDaniel has seen a change in quarterback Tua Tagovailoa over the past month. “He's found a way to improve the way he plays the position throughout the game,” the Dolphins coach said Sunday, after Tagovailoa threw for four touchdowns in a dominant 34-15 win over the New England Patriots. “The most monumental thing that you have to overcome as a quarterback is playing the position regardless of the ebbs and flows," McDaniel added, "so not changing how you play based upon positive or negative results and letting every play stand on its own.” Tagovailoa has mastered that ability to remain even-keeled during Miami's three-game winning streak, McDaniel noted, highlighted by his 317-yard passing performance on Sunday. The Dolphins (5-6) have a thin margin for error the rest of the season but have kept themselves afloat with a strong stretch that includes two-straight 30-point games. With their win at New England (3-9) in Week 5, the Dolphins have swept their division rivals in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1999-2000. Tagovailoa, who moved to 7-0 in his career against New England, entered the game with a league-high 73.4% completion rate and went 29 for 40. He has 11 passing touchdowns and just one interception since returning from injured reserve in Week 8. “We’re still below the .500 threshold, and it’s a long way to where we want to get to," Tagovailoa said. “We’ll enjoy this win, but this next one is going to be big for us.” The Dolphins have a short turnaround with a game at Green Bay on Thursday. Backup Skylar Thompson replaced Tagovailoa with about 11 minutes left in what was already a blowout, but a bad handoff on his first play resulted in a fumble that was recovered by cornerback Christian Gonzalez and returned 63 yards for a touchdown. It cut New England's deficit to 31-15, and Tagovailoa returned the next drive. Miami's defense held the rest of the way. Linebacker Tyrel Dodson intercepted rookie quarterback Drake Maye on New England's penultimate drive, then Miami stopped the Patriots on fourth down on the next. Jaylen Waddle caught eight passes for a season-high 144 yards and a 23-yard touchdown that stretched Miami's lead to 31-0 entering the fourth. Running back De'Von Achane scored on a 9-yard screen pass and then walked into the end zone for an 11-yard TD in the first half. Jonnu Smith finished with 87 yards on nine catches to continue his strong first season as a Dolphin. One week after catching two touchdowns with a career-high 101 yards receiving, Smith found the end zone for a 7-yard TD catch on the Dolphins' second drive. New England was shut out until tight end Austin Hooper got behind the Dolphins defense for a wide-open 38-yard touchdown catch from Maye to make it 31-7 with 13:43 left. Maye completed 22 of 37 passes for 221 yards with 26 yards rushing. But he couldn't overcome an overall sloppy performance by the Patriots in which they got nothing going offensively until the final quarter and had 10 penalties accepted against them. “I always say I hate losing more than I like to win," Maye said. "We got our butts whipped today, and it’s only up from here. We’ve got a bright future and the right players in there for the Patriots.” New England's best drive of the first half lasted 12 plays and covered 80 yards but included three accepted offensive penalties and ended in a missed 45-yard field goal by Joey Slye. The Patriots forced a Dolphins punt and moved down the field again on the opening drive of the second half, with Maye completing an improvised 10-yard throw on third down to receiver Kendrick Bourne. New England then tried a double pass with Bourne, whose cross-field throw fell short of Rhamondre Stevenson on 3rd-and-17. DeMario Douglas led the Patriots with 61 yards receiving. Antonio Gibson had six rushes for 30 yards. With the loss, the Patriots will finish their third straight season below .500. Its the first time since 1991-93 New England has had three straight losing seasons. “Once those guys cross the white lines, there’s nothing I can do for them,” coach Jerod Mayo said. "There’s nothing any coach can do for them. It’s my job to continue to prepare not only them, but our coaches as well.” Dolphins: LB Anthony Walker Jr. sustained a noncontact hamstring injury in the second quarter.
