A new study from the AARP Public Policy Institute calculates that each dollar paid to Social Security beneficiaries in Nebraska generates nearly two dollars in spending by individuals and businesses, adding about $7.2 billion in total economic output to the Nebraska economy – and about $1.4 trillion to the national economy – in 2012. The report also finds the $4.3 billion paid in Social Security benefits in 2012 helped Nebraskans keep or find 51,000 jobs.
