Social Security checks with the latest cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) will start arriving on Jan. 10 for some retirees, according to the agency’s payment schedule for 2024.
For payments sent out this year, more than 71 million Social Security recipients will get a 3.2 increase, marking the third straight year that an increase has taken place because of relatively high inflation. The previous year saw an 8.7 percent increase, while the year before that saw a 5.7 percent bump.
