These are the most notable changes to Social Security this 2025

 Monthly Benefits

Social Security recipients will see a rise in monthly payments due to a higher cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) reflecting inflation.

Taxation

The income threshold for Social Security taxation has been raised, meaning higher earners will pay more in taxes on their benefits.

Expanded Eligibility

Changes to eligibility criteria make it easier for some survivors of Social Security beneficiaries to qualify for benefits earlier.

Benefit Standard

A new minimum monthly benefit is being introduced to ensure that long-term low-wage earners receive a more substantial payout in retirement.

Disability Improvements

There's an increase in benefits for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) recipients, aimed at providing better support for those unable to work due to disabilities.

Retirement Age

The full retirement age for those born after 1960 continues to rise, reaching 67 for most people, requiring a longer work history to receive full benefits.

Trust Fund Projection

The Social Security trust fund's solvency projections have been revised, signaling a need for potential reforms to sustain future benefits.
