Social Security benefits are given a cost of living adjustment each year. The 2025 COLA increase is the smallest since 2021.

Social Security recipients will get a 3.2% COLA raise in 2024. All of it and more will likely be eaten by health care costs, leaving seniors in a hole.

The next Social Security payment is headed out in a few days. Here's when to expect it. We're headed into the third week of October, and the latest round of Social Security payments will soon be arriving for recipients.

Social Security's 2025 cost-of-living adjustment is 2.5%, the smallest rise since 2021 and likely not enough for seniors to keep up with inflation.

The Social Security Administration on Oct. 10 unveiled a higher threshold for earnings subject to Social Security payroll taxes, known as the “taxable maximum” or “wage base.” The limit shifts annually based on the national average wage index.

Today the Social Security Administration announced the annual COLA increase in benefits for more than 72 million Americans.
