After the 2025 COLA increase, 65-year-olds receive about $1,622 on average from Social Security. In 2024, it used to be $1,583 on average before the Cost-of-Living increase as of June 2024.
The next payment date 65-year-olds and other seniors on retirement benefits could receive a Social Security check will be February 12. If you are not eligible, you may qualify for the one on February 19 or even February 26.
