Last month, the SSA announced that the 2024 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will be 3.2%. That will push the average retirement benefit up by $57.39 a month, based on the September 2023 average of $1,793.51.

Although next year’s COLA will represent a big decline from this year’s 8.7% adjustment, it’s still well above the 2.6% average over the past couple of decades.

The 2024 payment schedule will include the usual quirks, which mainly affect Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients. SSI beneficiaries get two payments in March, June, September and December, while no payments are deposited in January, April, July and October. One check is issued the remaining four months: February, May, August and November.

Here are the important payment dates to know for 2024:
