As a result of the most recent Coast-of-Living Adjustment increase, millions of disabled Americans will get automatic checks in the amount of $841.
Retirees will experience a rise in their monthly benefits as a result of inflation and data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index of the United States Department of Labor.
The payment change will take effect on December 30 for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and January 1 for Social Security benefits.
The 5.9 percent increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is also applicable to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
SSDI is intended to offer assistance to those with disabilities who are unable to work or work in the same capacity as they were previously.
According to the benefit’s terms, it is intended to replace a portion of the qualifying worker’s wage.
