The Social Security Administration has issued a scam alert regarding fraudulent and misleading messages claiming that benefits will increase by $600 this month. The false claims have circulated on social media. Any information regarding a current $600 increase is false and should be ignored.
The attempted scam has been linked to unreliable websites claiming beneficiaries will receive an additional $600 or a new stimulus check in June due to a Cost-of-Living Adjustment. Cost of Living adjustments are scheduled for January 2025 as usual.
