A |     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.”。      北京8月13日电（记者 刘洋）记者从13日北京市市场监督管理局组织的平台经济协商对话会上了解到，三家外卖平台将在京执行“红灯停表”。

B |   停车等红灯耽误送餐，是困扰外卖骑手的难题之一。美团、淘宝闪购、京东三家平台将实行的“红灯停表”机制下，骑手等红灯的时长在考核时间中顺延。新机制将于9月在北京朝阳、通州、经开区等部分区域试运行，后续将逐步推广至全市范围。  在计算配送时长时，对于驾驶电动自行车配送的情况，以平均时速不超过15公里/小时计算，并对恶劣天气、复杂路况等加大补时力度。

C |   转单是骑手经常遇到的情况，但转之前的时间也会计入配送时长，往往导致接转单的骑手不得不抢时间。为此，新机制适度增加转单情况下骑手配送考核时长，以保障骑手不会因此违规或受罚。  同时，平台还将科学设置商家列表首页显示的配送参考送达时长，避免“分钟级竞速”。因商家出餐慢导致的超时订单，不影响骑手服务分。

D |   此外，平台将开展“智慧骑手”行动，探索开发骑手AI智能体助手，为骑手优惠提供智能设备。

E | 加大技术力量投入，强化交通违法行为监测，引导骑手安全行驶并按规定停放车辆。  对外经济贸易大学教授张毅指出，平台算法的核心在于平衡效率与公平、兼顾安全与速度。适度增加骑手配送考核时长、“红灯停表”等举措，既是对骑手劳动权益的实质性保障，更是通过算法向善推动行业从“速度竞赛”转向“质量竞争”的生动实践。
