Social Security Announces 2023 Cost of Living Adjustment:
The Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2023 is 8.7 percent. As a result the 2023 Supplemental Security Income (SSI) federal benefit amount, which is currently $841 will now be $914. The average Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefit, which is currently $1,364, will increase to $1,483. The SSDI Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) threshold for blind people which is currently $2,260 will increase to $2,460. These increased benefits will be reflected in your January 2023 payment. A complete explanation of the 2023 Social Security changes will be included in the next issue of the Braille Monitor.
