The amount of monthly benefit change will vary greatly, according to the Social Security Administration. Depending on factors such as the type of Social Security benefit received and the amount of the person’s pension, the increase will amount to “very little” to more than $1,000 each month, the agency said.

The Social Security Administration is adopting more stringent identity verification procedures beginning April 14, 2025, to "further safeguard Social Security records and benefits against fraudulent activity." Those who use their my Social Security account to make changes like address updates and direct deposit changes won't notice a difference.
