More than 71 million Americans rely on Social Security benefits each month, and for many recipients, December payments are already arriving. As the year winds down, beneficiaries are also looking ahead: after the final December disbursements, there will be only one remaining round of disability payments and one more Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check issued before 2025 officially ends.

Understanding when payments arrive — and how upcoming changes could affect benefit amounts — is critical for budgeting and financial planning.

In this article, you will find a comprehensive breakdown of December Social Security payments, SSI schedules for 2025 and 2026, cost-of-living adjustments, repayment rules, and other key updates from the Social Security Administration (SSA).

    This article is way too lengthy for most of us to grasp meaning of. Why confuse us? Be more simple.

    I hate to mention race into my comments but as a Black retirie, I haven’t seen a dime added to my Social Security check and the Social Security Administration is Taking so much out of my check every month for a repayment they say I owe. So what you are stating about extra money added to our Social Security retirement is only for white people who get retirement. I waited until I was 66 and file for my retirement and I thought I had done it the right way so I can get my supplemental pay out. I served in the military, I worked most of my life just to denied the rightful payment I deserved.
