SSI Social Security Benefits Increase
Reports claim a $600 boost in November 2025 for Social Security or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, but is it true?
The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced a 2.8% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2026, not a one-time payment.
The COLA is an annual adjustment to ensure payments keep up with inflation.
The reality is more nuanced, and beneficiaries should expect the COLA to be applied annually, not as a lump sum.
Author's summary: No $600 boost for SSI benefits.
