The Social Security Administration (SSA) is set to distribute another round of payments on Monday, February 3, 2025. This latest batch includes retirees, survivors, and recipients of Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). With an average payment of around $2,000, this boost helps many Americans keep up with the rising cost of living.

Payment Increases in 2025

Social Security benefits have increased by 2.5% this year due to the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA). This adjustment has raised both average monthly benefits and maximum benefit amounts, providing more financial relief to beneficiaries.

The February 3 payments will go to individuals who began receiving benefits before May 1997. If you fall into this category, you should see your payment via direct deposit or paper check, depending on your payment method.
