Retirees & SSDI Recipients: How much are you getting this February 26 Social Security Payment?

Millions of Social Security beneficiaries will receive an increase in their payments in 2025, thanks to the 2.5% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA).

This adjustment helps recipients manage the rising cost of living and ensures financial stability for retirees and individuals with disabilities.
 

Who Will Receive Their Social Security Payment on February 26?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) schedules payments based on birth dates.

If your birthdate falls between the 21st and 31st of any month, you will receive your February 2025 Social Security payment on Wednesday, February 26.
 

New Social Security Benefit Amounts for 2025

Payment amounts vary depending on retirement age and work history:

• Retirees who delayed benefits until age 70: Up to $5,108 per month.

• Retirees at full retirement age (67 years old): Up to $4,018 per month.

• Disability beneficiaries (SSDI recipients): Up to $4,018 per month, depending on lifetime earnings.

• Early retirees (age 62): Maximum of $2,831 per month.

How to Ensure You Receive Your Payment on Time

To avoid delays in receiving your Social Security payment, the SSA recommends:

• Updating banking details on the SSA website to prevent processing issues.

• Checking your Social Security account to confirm your scheduled deposit date.

• Staying within income limits if receiving disability benefits, as exceeding these limits may affect eligibility.

Why This COLA Increase Matters

With inflation affecting expenses such as housing, healthcare, and groceries, the 2.5% COLA increase is crucial in helping Social Security recipients keep up with rising costs. These adjustments play a significant role in maintaining financial security for millions of Americans.
