Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Social Security beneficiaries is set at 2.5%, it's crucial for the 72.5 million recipients to verify their expected increase. This adjustment aims to protect purchasing power against inflation.

The Cost of Living Adjustment is rising in 2025, which will change the amount of money people will receive in their Social Security checks.

All Social Security beneficiaries are getting a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) next year -- or at least they are on paper. This will increase monthly benefit amounts for all recipients, including those claiming spousal Social Security.

Social Security recipients will see changes to their entitlements in the New Year, with the maximum benefit for 2025 at $4,018 per month.
