    Millions of Americans receiving Social Security benefits are approaching an important deadline on November 18, 2026. Beneficiaries should create a ‘my Social Security’ account to receive personalized cost-of-living adjustment notices electronically. A 3.6% COLA increase for 2027 will affect about 76 million people and provide financial relief. Early access to updated benefit amounts will help recipients plan accordingly moving forward.

The taxable income limit is rising to $192,300 from $184,500, meaning another $7,800 of wages will be taxed. Workers earning above the new limit could pay up to $483.60 more next year. The increase comes as retirees are set to receive a 3.6% benefit boost.

    Who gets Social Security tomorrow, November 3? Is your payment COLA-adjusted, and how much will beneficiaries receive in November?

    Social Security payments begin November 3 for beneficiaries who started collecting before May 1997. Other recipients will receive benefits on November 10, 18 or 25, depending on their birthdays. Veterans Day shifts the first birthday-based payment forward by a day, while SSI recipients received November's payment early, on October 30, because November 1 falls on Sunday.
