The December 11 check is a key moment for beneficiaries, marking the end of the Social Security distribution calendar for the year for some recipients.
It's important to note that this payment will not include the 2.5% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) increase, which is set to take effect with the first payment of January 2025.

If December 11 comes and goes without the arrival of your check, it's important to act quickly.
Contact the Social Security Administration to report the missing payment and follow their procedures to address any delays or errors.
Timely reporting can help resolve issues faster and ensure you receive your benefits without significant disruption.
Although the upcoming payment won't reflect the COLA increase, it's a critical time for beneficiaries to assess their financial situation.
Here's a quick overview of how payments are expected to change from 2024 to 2025:
The first check of 2025 will bring the adjusted amount that accounts for the increased cost of living.
Until then, the December 11 payment remains an essential part of your financial landscape, especially for those who depend on Social Security benefits for their day-to-day needs.
Keeping abreast of payment schedules and changes in the Social Security program is vital for effective financial planning.
