Has anyone received an email from SSA regarding your new SSA statement is available to view for the upcoming year?

@catter70   I received an email on 10/24 telling me that the increase would be 2.8% in January and can see the amount in my SSA account. I received the increase this month. No! Wait...! I can't see the amount for next year. 

I also received a one time payment with no explanation last month. Maybe they were underpaying me...? Yes! That is it! The amount I received this month is NOT a 2.8% increase. They must have been underpaying me, & that is why the one time payment and the new amount starting this month.

I still work full time. Are they going to have to do this every year to match my income?

Thank you for this thread! It made me look! lol

I just started collecting in Oct. 

They have changed the SSI payout twice, changed my Medicare twice, sent me a refund (bank deposit) yesterday (Mon) for Medicare (guessing).

Rec'd a letter yesterday that I'll be receiving a couple of dollars less in Nov, but then much more in December for SSI (I guess).  I'm so confused at this point.

ETA:  Will be receiving a lot less for Nov and Dec.  A little bit of a hike after that (2026?).  

Whatever!!!

@catter70  Yes, I have.  I already calculated my new monthly amount, including deducting the $206. charge for Medicare.

I received an email saying I could see my 2026 amount online soon. I don't expect much and whatever it is will go toward the higher Medicare fee.

I got an email but instead of using the link in the email I went to the SSA website - nothing available yet regarding the increase.

You can sign in yourr account NOV. 19TH to see your amount.

Mail notices go out  DEC  10TH.

you will  receive your new payment amount  in your

January  statement not before....
