Social Security's numbers

SSDI and SSI amounts by year

Social Security updates these every January. Each month always uses the amounts for its own year, and the app and calculator switch automatically.

Announced: 2027

These start January 1, 2027. Until then, the 2026 amounts still apply. Months in 2027, and SSI checks paid for 2027, use the new amounts.
