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 Social Security Administration (SSA) has announced a 2.8% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2026, which is an annual adjustment applied to Social Security and SSI benefits to ensure that payments keep up with inflation.
The COLA is not a one-time payment, but rather an annual adjustment.
The claim of a $600 boost has gained traction online, but the reality is more nuanced.
Author's summary: SSI benefits to increase by 2.8% in 2026.
