The 2025 COLA Increase Approaching is the news circulating over the internet nowadays. This adjustment aims to reduce the impact of inflation rates among citizens. New changes will impact beneficiaries who are receiving social security payments.
The SSA department has decided on the annual COLA to maintain the purchasing power of citizens. The exact COLA Increase for 2025 is 2.5%, lower than in previous years. It can make small changes in the monthly payments given to eligible citizens.

How about that $50Billion lovely parting gift just announced for Z and his henchmen?
Well, since inflation has only been 2.5%, I guess that is more than fair. I mean, Dems wouldn’t cook the books on economic numbers, would they?
90% of my 2.5% increase actually goes to pay increased medicare charge.
I can’t wait to be able to buy another loaf of bread at the markdown section at Wal Mart with the money I get from the COLA increase.
Far better to claim being an illegal alien and get $70,000 in benefits.
Pretty sure that the outgoing Swampers have already spent my $5/month via inflation and cutting the age 62 payout another ten percent.
Makes sense, Manuel. My name is Juan. I’ve got no ID, so I’m legit.
Where’s line for the money?
As part of a 10-month investigation Scripps News uncovered that every year, thousands of migrant children disappear from their homes shortly after arriving in the U.S. But there is no clear local, state or federal government agency taking responsibility for searching for many of these missing ...Apr 2, 2024
This is so bogus-——the kids arent missing, they are loaned out, passed around to other migrants. to be used in lucrative scams to get tax dollars from S/S and hefty disability checks.
Vindictive Biden overturned Trump’s order to get the DNA of these so-called needy families, to make sure the kids are really theirs.
A common practice by these greedy illegals is getting a crooked doctor to say a kid’s autistic b/c they get hefty SS tax paid benefits every month for the kid.
The maximum possible disability benefit for autism in 2024 is $943 per month for SSI and about $3,822 per month for SSDI. These maximums apply regardless of what condition you have or whether you apply with one condition or multiple. The actual amount received depends on specific circumstances. (Dec 7, 2023)
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a key benefit for children under 16 living with disability, including autism. It is assessed according to care needs, and a diagnosis is not required to make a claim. DLA helps cover the extra costs of raising a child with a disability. (Jan 30, 2024)
And it’s a sure bet they invent their “family circumstances.”
So they used Biden campaign numbers on inflation? Well ... as long as all entitlements and federal COLAs are treated equally, I can live with it.
Our welfare state is unsustainable. The Ponzi schemes will come crashing down.
In the long run, government will use inflation to write down both its debts and its unfunded liabilities. But for that to make a dent in the problem, we would also have to hold total spending increases below the rate of growth of the economy. Hahahahaha.
As long as today’s suckers continue to fund my Ponzi check, I’ll be ok.
If American citizens tried that the thugs and goons in the FBI, DOJ and 'Homeland' would have us arrested and shot.
You can buy an extra 6-pack of Pepsi with your COLA increase.
Considering what the increase in inflation ACTUALLY amounts to, I think we got the short end. Of course, when DOGE really gets in gear,they might decide all of us seniors are getting too much....and I would say some possibly are except for the fact of how much they actually paid in. Many of us who are depending on it as a living will have to continue to live on the cheap because we never made enough in our working years to pay in any more than we did. That is fair, I guess, but sure doesn’t feel like it. I am in that situation, but am fortunate to have managed under this condition. As a veteran,I get some help there.
The play is to make dope cheaper and cheaper. If I claim I’m stressed by Trump’s election, I can get subsidized “medical” pot for my anxieties. Smoking a couple of ounces of gubmint pot a month is the solution.
That seems to be the situation for many. The coming of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ is our one real hope & a most glorious one.
C-O-L-A, Cola!
It would help if they could actually explain how that is the actual inflation rate. Many would question that.
Every since they put Social Security under the general fund, it was doomed.
My health care premiums are approaching the same number as my annuity. Pretty soon I’ll be paying the government for my annuity!
