SSI Social Security Benefits Increase
If you are 62 or older and depend on Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, you may have seen reports claiming a $600 boost is coming in November 2025.
However, the reality is more nuanced as the Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced a 2.8% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2026, but that increase will not come as a one-time payment.
The COLA is an annual adjustment applied to Social Security and SSI benefits to ensure that payments keep up with inflation.
The claim comes as part of recent Social Security changes.
Author's summary: Social Security benefits increase by 2.8% in 2026.
