Social Security beneficiaries will see the increase in their checks starting in January 2025.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Reason for the increase:<\/strong> The COLA is <span class=\"citation-0 citation-end-0\">based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) from the third quarter<\/span> of 2023 to the third quarter of 2024.
