Since 1975, Social Security's general benefit increases have been based on increases in the cost of living, as measured by the Consumer Price Index. We call such increases Cost-Of-Living Adjustments, or COLAs. We determined a 2.5-percent COLA on October 10, 2024. We will announce the next COLA in October 2025. Social Security program information
