The Social Security Administration announced that SSI and Social Security benefits will increase starting late December 2025 due to an annual cost-of-living adjustment tied to inflation, with maximum federal SSI benefits rising to $994 for individuals and $1,491 for couples, though some advocates believe the increase is insufficient to match rising living costs.
Social Security and SSI beneficiaries will receive their December payments on specific dates based on their birth dates, with SSI recipients getting two payments this month on Dec. 1 and Dec. 31. The SSA provides a schedule and advises contacting your bank if payments are delayed.
Some Social Security recipients, specifically SSI beneficiaries, are receiving double or even triple payments this month due to a scheduling quirk where November's SSI payment is issued early because the usual payment date falls on a weekend. This affects around 7.4 million SSI recipients and some dual-benefit claimants, but the SSA assures that the government shutdown does not impact these payments.
The COLA increase for 2026 is set at 2.7%, starting in January, providing a moderate boost to Social Security and SSI benefits to help recipients cope with inflation, with payments scheduled throughout the year and specific adjustments for those receiving both benefits. The increase also affects tax and income thresholds, ensuring financial stability for beneficiaries.

Millions of Social Security recipients are experiencing smaller or no payments in July due to the SSA's efforts to recover alleged overpayments, which has caused confusion and hardship.

On May 28, 2025, millions of Social Security beneficiaries will receive two payments on the same day due to calendar adjustments: early retirees receiving up to $1,999 and SSI recipients getting their June payment early, with the event occurring because June 1 falls on a weekend.
