Social Security exists to support us in retirement, during times of disability, or after the loss of a family breadwinner…
It’s not a handout — it’s an earned benefit we’ve paid into over the course of our working lives…
Remember that.

Impact of COLA on Payments
The 2.5% COLA increase will be applied to payments starting in December 2024 for SSI recipients and in January 2025 for Social Security beneficiaries.
This adjustment aims to help beneficiaries keep up with rising costs of living, ensuring that their purchasing power is not eroded by inflation.
“The COLA for 2025 will introduce a 2.5% increase in monthly benefit checks,” said an SSA spokesperson
