Social Security COL Increase

I just checked my bank account, and my SS check for December is there. However it does not reflect the 8% increase. My SSA online portal shows that it was supposed to go into effect starting this month. Is anybody else’s check not showing the increase? I will call the SSA Monday, I’m in too good of a mood today to talk to them.

SS is paid one month in arrears. Your January check will have the new amount.

I received my notice yesterday saying this.

@twoinanddone, thank you. That saves me a call to them.

Yes, I got my notice from SS, detailing the new amount with the increase & deductions for medicare and info that I will receive this amount in Jan for the Dec benefit.

That’s odd. I got a thing saying I would have a net deposit in December which I haven’t had in years. Our IRMMA went way down…I still have one for my RX, but I haven’t gotten a bill for that…yet. Maybe tomorrow?
