Americans collecting Social Security can expect larger checks this month.
This is thanks to the COLA increase that went into effect this month.
Over 64 million Americans will benefit from this.
This is the highest COLA increase since 1982.
The only other time it came this close was in 2009 when it jumped 5.8%.

When will Social Security payments be sent?
Payments are sent on the second, third, and fourth Wednesday of each month.
The day yours is sent depends on when your birthday falls.
Anyone with a birthday between the 1st and 10th can expect their checks on the second Wednesday.
Those with birthdays falling on the 11th-20th will see their payments on the third Wednesday.
Finally, anyone who’s birthday lands on the 21st and after will see their checks the final Wednesday of the month.
