Next year, Social Security beneficiaries will receive the biggest increase in payments in almost 40 years. With the high price of gasoline, as well as other increasing costs of living, this move should help beneficiaries adjust.
Rising inflation due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic means that in 2022, Social Security benefits will rise 5.9 percent, the sharpest upsurge since 1983.

Will Social Security benefits be cut sooner than anticipated due to the pandemic?
The Social Security trustees are projecting that the Social Security trust fund will be depleted in 2033 -- one year earlier than the previous estimates. Once the fund is depleted, Social Security benefits will be reduced unless Congress takes action.
A common misconception is that Medicaid is only for low income individuals. Attorney Denis Rischard discusses that with the proper planning, one with moderate wealth or even significant wealth can protect their assets using Medicaid Asset Protection Planning.
Will congress lower prescription drug prices for Medicare recipients, as well as all Americans?
The Biden administration is calling on Congress to pass proposals to lower prescription drug prices, including allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies and capping out-of-pocket spending by Medicare beneficiaries.
Welcoming Our New Associate!
Although she has been with the firm in a variety of roles throughout the years, we are excited to officially introduce Annie Rischard Davis as Rischard & Associates’ newest Associate Attorney!
Annie grew up in Oklahoma City and received her BA from the University of Oklahoma in 2015. She began her professional career as a case manager for Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City in their Family HOPE and Transitional Housing programs. This work inspired her to pursue a legal education so she could continue to help others in an even more specialized capacity. Before applying to law school, she joined Rischard & Carsey as the legal assistant and client services coordinator, which provided her with an exposure to a wide range of practice areas, most notably elder law and estate planning.
Annie graduated in May from the University of Oklahoma College of Law. While in law school, she was a member of the American Indian Law Review, research assistant for Professor Robert Spector, and interned for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, and the Estate Planning, Probate, and Trust Section of the Oklahoma Bar Association.
Annie passed the July 2021 Oklahoma Bar exam, and will be sworn in as an attorney at the Oklahoma Judicial Center on Tuesday, September 28. She is looking forward to learning from and developing her practice with Denis, and to serving our clients as our new Associate.
Welcome, Annie!

Happy Birthday to the guy who makes it all happen! We appreciate you Denis Rischard!
Because Attorney Denis Rischard is President of Oklahoma chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, our firm had the privilege of putting on this year’s “UnProgram.” Elder Law attorneys from all over the state gathered at the Tulsa Club Hotel and via Zoom for the half day event.
The afternoon began with a presentation from Bill Whited and Tony Fullbright of the Oklahoma Department of Human Services Long Term Care Ombudsman’s Office. Bill and Tony gave an excellent and informative summary of how their office assists residents in Oklahoma nursing homes, as well as the many programs their office oversees.
The “UnProgram” portion was led by our friend and colleague, Tulsa Elder Law attorney Blaine Frizzell, where we discussed a variety of elder law issues, especially how several new laws will affect our planning clients.
A big thank you to all who had a hand in making the event such a success, and for all who attended and contributed… We can’t wait to use what we learned to better serve our clients!
