Social Security benefits will increase by 3.2% in 2024, the Social Security Administration announced Thursday morning. That adds about $50 monthly to the average retirement benefit consumers will receive beginning in January. The agency said increased payments to people receiving SSI will begin on Dec. 29. “Social Security and SSI benefits will increase in 2024, and this will help millions of people keep up with expenses,” said Kilolo Kijakazi, acting commissioner of Social Security.
Specifically, it’s based on the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The CPI-W rose 3.6% in July, 3.4% in August and 3.6% in September, according to the latest inflation data released by the bureau on Thursday. Inflation rocketed to 40-year highs in 2022 in the wake of a combination of pandemic stimulus payments, an increase in shopping and spending, and widespread supply chain problems.
