Both retirement and SSDI payments are paid for by the Social Security Administration (SSA). The Federal Government gives the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) the money it needs. People who work for the government put money into the SSA’s Trust Fund, and the Federal Reserve gives money to pay this addition to low-income Americans who are blind, disabled, or 65 or older.
One of these three benefits in the United States has the lowest highest amount. It’s called SSI. Remember that it can pay up to $1,415 for a married couple, $943 for an individual, and $472 for a person who is very important to the business.
After COLA, SSI recipients will get less money
Even though the Social Security Administration has approved a 2.5% COLA raise, people whose payments are already higher will benefit more from it. For instance, the SSI program can only give a person up to $24 extra per month, while a couple can get up to $35 extra per month after COLA.
See how much more you can get from SSI:
- Supplemental Security Income recipients can get up to $943 in 2024 and $967 in 2025, after the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).
- The most a married couple can get in Supplemental Security Income is $1,415 in 2024 and $1,450 in 2025 after the COLA.
- someone important to Supplemental Security After COLA, the most you can earn is $472 in 2024 and $484 in 2025.
After the COLA, people on SSDI and retirement will get more money than people on SSI.
SSI will get an extra $35 a month, and pensioners will get an extra $50 a month on average. As you can see, there is a big change. This means that the more you pay, the more money you will get from Social Security.
It will be about $1,927 a month in December, and it will be about $1,976 a month after the COLA bonus. It will be in the middle, between Supplemental Security Income and retirement payments.
Persons who get SSDI can get up to $3,822, and on average, they get about $1,539 a month. There is a big difference between this amount and the most that a couple can get on SSI. Since each person on SSDI can get an extra $38 after COLA, it is not a lump sum.
