Social Security retirement benefits, on average, will increase by roughly $50 per month starting in January, the agency said.

"Social Security benefits and SSI payments will increase in 2025, helping tens of millions of people keep up with expenses even as inflation has started to cool," said Social Security Commissioner Martin O’Malley.
