The Social Security Administration (SSA) has released the cost of living adjustment (COLA) for 2024, which is calculated based on inflation so as not to affect the purchasing power of beneficiaries.

The COLA for next year will be 3.2%. This percentage will apply to the millions of payments the SSA sends each month, including retired worker benefits, survivors, and disability payments.

The latter include Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and payments from the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.
