SSI and Social Security Payments Set to Increase Starting December 31
SSI and Social Security payments will rise starting December 31, 2025, thanks to a cost-of-living adjustment, but advocates push for a higher COLA.
People receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and other Social Security benefits will see their payments increase starting December 31, 2025. This is due to the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) tied to inflation. The maximum federal SSI benefit for individuals will rise to $994 per month, up from $967, while couples will see their benefits increase to $1,491 per month from $1,450. Some states offer additional contributions, which could further raise the total payment.
