Social Security benefits to increase, food stamps to decrease for thousands of Mississippians
SUMMARY: Beneficiaries of federal programs like Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Veterans Benefits, and Railroad Retirement will receive a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment starting in 2025, reflecting changes in the Consumer Price Index from Q3 2023 to Q3 2024. However, increases in these benefits may result in reduced aid for households using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Beneficiaries must report any income changes monthly, as increases could diminish or terminate SNAP assistance. Additionally, individuals can request a fair hearing for any discrepancies in benefits calculations.

New cast, no problem: Ole Miss handles Georgia State in 63-7 blowout
SUMMARY: Ole Miss, after losing 18 starters, dominated Georgia State 63-7 in week one under coach Lane Kiffin. Sophomore QB Austin Simmons debuted with 341 passing yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions but improved as the game progressed. Running back Kewan Lacy led with 108 yards and three touchdowns, highlighting Ole Miss’ improved running game. The defense, led by coordinator Pete Golding, stifled Georgia State’s offense, allowing just 260 total yards. Special teams’ Lucas Carneiro contributed two field goals. Coach Kiffin praised Lacy’s versatility but noted inconsistency in the offensive line. Ole Miss next faces Kentucky on September 6 in Lexington for revenge after last year’s home loss.
