Starting in 2022, military retirees and disabled vets are due to get the largest increase in their monthly checks since 1983.
Many could see their monthly checks jump by hundreds of dollars.
The adjustment rate was announced by the Social Security Administration this week, and it will be an increase of 5.9% compared to 2021. The VA is required to adjust disability payment rates by the same amount. While there is technically not a law requiring military retirement to adjust by the same rate, it’s almost always the same.
What does that mean for you?
If you’re a retiree, you will see a $59 increase for each $1000 of military retirement pension you receive from the government each month. For veterans getting disability compensation from the VA, your monthly check will go up $185.65/month if you are rated at 100%. If you are rated at 10%, your check will go up about $8.50/month.
Military retirees and VA beneficiaries aren’t the only ones who benefit from the COLA increase. Civil Service retirees and Social Security recipients also will see the 5.9% jump in their monthly checks.
For Social Security recipients, the monthly increase will mean an extra $91 per month for the average beneficiary.

In 2021 military retirees and disabled vets saw an increase of only 1.3% in their monthly checks. So this coming year’s increase will be quite hefty in comparison.
The reason next year’s checks are slated to go up so much is because throughout 2021 the cost for most goods and services has rapidly increased.
What a relief. Thank you! Some of us are struggling and could use the raise for food and other expenses.
Hey Vicikie, where do you think the money for this increase is coming from? That is ri9ht, your and my taxes. This administration gives it away and then takes it back. What are you paying for a gal. of gas or a loaf of bread these days? This is no deal, just fog and mirrors.
William, you are indeed correct. The government produces nothing other than chaos and ways to financially enrich themselves and their cronies with taxpayer’s dollars. Once these billions and now trillions of dollars are produced by means of the great QE scam the working class peasants pay the governmental debt back to the political criminals by way of devalued dollars (Inflation). The greatest behind the curtain tax scam this country has ever experienced and sadly most of today’s sheeple have no concept of the government scam. One need to know and remember only one thing to grasp what is currently occurring within our country, that one thing being, the government produces no goods nor services; therefore, it is impossible for them to have any produced any income. There only income is derived at the expense of working class citizens and their day to day experience to growing inflation.
No relief just a taste so u vote for the Scum again That is their plan. Eat out of their hands u see the increase, looks great on paper but your purse and wallet don’t receive it..
They raise meds medical. SS, and gas oil price out of reach and we have shortage now of our needs.
They don’t care,
So feelbgreatful but u are still at par and will be spending more than these bastards gave us
The raise should be 10% since Biden has a 30% inflation rate
Makes most of us realize just how the last idiot left office after helping ALL his cronies richer and richer by the millions and even his kids while we got a couple hundred, hope you dummies enjoyed the pocket change. Oh yes and how many trillions did his 4 years cost us working citizens, record highs I believe I heard, oh boy.
Will this pertain to a wife receiving survivors benefits of a 100% Air Force Captain? Thank you
Yes, I am almost certain you will see the same raise as everyone else gets.
Military gets more of a raise and disabled vets , etc. A 100% disabled vets will see $185. And some change in their check
Fact from the V. A. VFW DAV.
And military sources

$59.00 for every thousand or military pensioners .
Thank you. It will mean less struggles in paying bills now. I won’t have to use deferments to delay a mortgage payment. This will keep me “current”.
Bacon is up 8.4%, vegetables and fruit are up 7.3%, gas is up 45.1%! So, your measly 5.9% doesn’t cover it!
Shame on you Ed, using facts that the Democrats do not want to hear. Last December I was paying around $38 to fill up my car. Yesterday, I filled up, and for about the same amount of gas. I paid $64.35. Thank all of you who voted for Biden, as I just love what he is doing to me, you and our country. NOT!
Thank you, at least a few on here realize this bullshit raise .
R u a disabled vet? If no then not your problem and if yes don’t except the increase.
Gas is more $3.25 in California under Trump $5 under Biden so that’s 35%
Well Ed if you and anyone else that don’t appreciate the increased funding, there is NO rules or laws saying you can’t refuse the payments and just return ALL your checks back to the government, it is not mandatory I am sure.
Does this apply to federal employees as well?
When the voters wake up it will be back to normal. We let the DEMS. Lie, control the media, change laws and statistics that help them. They are great for causing problems, then they make like they fix them . They are con jobs. The REPUBs. Are no better. Politics!! Politicians!!, we give our taxes, they make the laws and spend as they please and pocket as they thrive on their titles.
We the people better wake up, Protest, Write in And don’t comply until we the people get the answers and let them feel what we feel struggling to survive because of their so called understanding of our the people’s need. Bull shit
They live in mansions pay for nothing live like millionaires with body guards walls and limos. We are busting our butts to make ends meet.
We need change people and that’s the way of the vote(legal) not like they robbed TRUMP and a few others in elections. Now they are changing the rules again for voting .
We better wake up or china and the rest are going to rule us.
Starting already,. Statues, paintings, laws, etc. All being changed and our enemies are watching and can’t wait for this country to go further upsidedown
This is the worst administration and president and vice president and the rest of the crew this country ever experienced.
So all wake up and let’s get the Bums out
U R SO Right I have no words u said it all , and true.
The money will be for the people entering this country. We already see all our stores closing and the walk ins from wherever, take over our supplies and businesses. Given special rates and accomodations. So we are nothing but taxpayers to support our crooked political realm, and anyone who comes here. Anyone who cannot see this and getting worse , has to be in a coma.
And this is why this country is failing, so many negative comments about everything. I have only one good thing to say about all the negativity (Yaw better find Jesus or you will not be welcomed in his house). And im sure someone has something to say negative about that.
I am increasingly amazed that those who aren’t even citizens and never served this country get so much free money while those of us who swore to protect and honor our flag get squat!! All I want is fairness and that that I truly earned by serving my country!! Is that so hard!!!!!!
Robert hi

How is it possible that most Americans cannot see that Biden and Harris are trying, successfully, to bring this once great nation down to the Russian and CCP level. WAKE UP!
One other thing. Will everyone who has owned a slave please stand up. That’s what I thought.
Will everyone who capitalized off slavery please stand up!
In no way, shape, or form would I refer to this raise as massive. Talk about misinformation…….geez. I mean it’s better than a sharp stick in the eye, but so are a lot of other things–many of them MUCH better.
How much raises did we get from the last administration?
I’am retired A.F. vet and did time in Nam both on the ground and in the air as a gunner in the gunship program. all this stuff started back then and got worse as time went on with people like Jane Fonda leading the way and now the s— hit the fan.The people who voted dem are keeping their mouth shut,I wonder why?why are they not proud of what they did,is it because they believed the con ,hell both pol parties lie and/or con to get the votes and then do what they want when in office..So this no more than expected.
The truth just never seems to prevail, eminaiting from the White House, just shoot straight without any Bull,, the administration knows the drill !!
The federal government is screwing the American people to death. Ever since Biden and Harris got in power they are trying to make this a socialist government like Russia has. People wake up, this is America. We fought this before and won and we can do it again. Get the Democrats out of control and put things back to normal. We need Trump back in control. Vote Republican in 2024.
After perusing the above chain, I am a 10% disabled Marine Veteran who spent my career after the service as a Sr Accountant / Sr Financial.Analyst for a fortune fifty company who I will not name! Thought I’d give you all a bit of free advice, why are you sending money for taxes to the Fed’s for, Bidenleft us a valuable boxing out tax returns called “Donations”! Simply figure your taxes payable and then move that amount to the donation line and keep your tax dollars local! I am sure there are many Veterans groups locally that can put these tax dollars to a good use! Don’t send your tax dollars to the government, keep it within your community. Put it where you want it to best benefit your local areas, I.e., you decide where your tax dollars can do the best!!! Right now Donations or Charitable Contributions are un-limited until the IRS revises this, but until they do, I wish you all the best! Regards John!
Will this pertain to D.I.C. ?
My husband is a 100% Disabled Master Chief/ USN
with an unexpected terminal illness..
My two disabled children and myself will be
in rather deep do-do without the increased DIC.
who have slave owner ancestors, raise your hands. A lot of hands are raised. That’s if you want to question the affects it has on today and want to be truthful. A Black man being killed by a white policeman live and felt he did nothing wrong. I served for 20 years and not to protect this or any hate against anyone. Everyone can have hard times. But putting your foot on there heads want make the situation any better but creates an unnecessary powder keg, Not a good solution. Hate equals hate and nothing GOOD is accomplished for anybody. If we treat everyone like we would like to be treated most of our problems will be solved.. Also the filthy rich is throwing crumbs at us to fight over as they walk out the door with the loaf laughing at ALL of US
