The Social Security Administration announced a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2025. Social Security and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will increase by 2.5% (Last year’s increase was 3.2%). This impacts the maximum federal SSI payment amounts for 2025. We review payment amounts for individuals and couples, and review additional benefit changes impacted by this adjustment.
