Therefore, after the <strong>2025 COLA increase<\/strong>, this monthly payment will have become about <strong>$1,622 on average <\/strong>in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is just an average payment. Thus, some retirees aged 65 may get a lower or higher payment. What is more, not all <strong>retirees aged 65<\/strong> will receive the <strong>Social Security payment on January 15<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Eligibility for Social Security on January 15<\/h2>\n<p>The January 15 will be for those <strong>Social Security<\/strong> recipients who were <strong>born<\/strong> from the <strong>11th to the 20th<\/strong>. This cannot be your monthly payment if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>you are also receiving SSI (Supplemental Security Income) benefits<\/li>\n<li>you started receiving Social Security retirement benefits before May 1997<\/li>\n<li>you broke SSA rules<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It does not matter if you are <strong>aged 65<\/strong> or not to get the <strong>January 15 payment<\/strong>. So, other age groups could also qualify if they meet all the conditions. Remember that those born from the 21st to the 31st will be eligible for the January 22 payment.<\/p>\n<h2>Are average Social Security checks higher for all workers?<\/h2>\n<p>As a matter of fact, 65-year-olds get less money than the <strong>average for all retired workers<\/strong>. This is because all of them have filed before reaching the Full Retirement Age.<\/p>\n<p>Early filing at 62 can reduce your monthly payment by 30%. Thus, your<strong> Social Security payment<\/strong> amount depends on the age you file. The number of years you worked, the wage you had, and if you had jobs covered by the Agency are key too.<\/p>\n<p>A worker who waits until <strong>Full Retirement Age<\/strong> to get Social Security payments can receive a check or direct deposit of up to $4,018 in 2025. As of December 2024, the average amount for all workers is $1,927.<\/p>\n<p>After the <strong>2025 Cost-of-Living Adjustment<\/strong>, the new average payment for retirees is $1,976. This is what SSA&#8217;s COLA Fact Sheet claimed on October 10, 2024.
