Does 2025 COLA affect these payments?

The simple answer is Yes. The cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), introduced in January 2025, has boosted monthly SSDI payments. Tied directly to inflation, this increase is designed to help beneficiaries preserve their purchasing power—and it’s already reflected in current checks.

On August 28, SSDI recipients will receive their final payment of the month. Beneficiaries should double-check their payment dates and ensure their banking details are up to date with the SSA to avoid any delays or transfer issues.
