Nearly two-thirds of retirees are dissatisfied with Social Security benefits, according to a new survey conducted by The Senior Citizens League (TSCL).

The average monthly Social Security check reached north of $2,000 this year, according to the survey, with just 10% of the 1,920 respondents saying they were satisfied with that amount. Roughly 63% reported being dissatisfied and 27% were neutral, according to Newsweek.
