Hi, Angela. Thanks for reading our blog and for your question. We will not know about the next Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), or the amount of the 2025 COLA, until late October. That’s when the Department of Labor releases information on inflation for the past year. Any increase will begin with benefits received in January 2025. For more information about the COLA, check out our <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/cola/" rel="nofollow ugc">website</a> and <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10526.pdf" rel="nofollow ugc">fact sheet</a>. We hope this helps.
