Military retirees, disabled veterans, civil service retirees, and Social Security recipients will receive a 2.5% increase on their monthly pay for 2025. Military retirees who joined the military before August 1, 1986, and those who joined after but did not opt for Redux, would see a $25 increase per $1,000 of pay. Military retirees who opted for Redux will receive $15 per $1,000 of pay.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>From Military.com:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Military Retirees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For 2025, retired military members will receive a $25 increase for each $1,000 of military retirement pension they receive each month.<\/p>\n<p>Retirees who entered military service on or after Aug. 1, 1986, and opted for the Career Status Bonus (CSB\/Redux retirement plan) will have any COLA increases reduced by a percentage point, so they will receive a smaller increase of $15 per $1,000 in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Survivors receiving Survivor Benefit Plan payments will receive increases to their payments by the same amount as retirees.<\/p>\n<p>Service members who retired in 2024 will receive a slightly reduced COLA in 2025. Their COLA is prorated based on which quarter they retired in (January-March, April-June, etc.). The prorated amount may also be adjusted based on when a member entered the service and which retirement plan they elected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Disabled Veterans and Survivors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Disabled veterans will also receive increases to their benefit payments in the upcoming year. VA disability checks will go up about $4.28 per month for those with a 10% rating and $93.45 for those rated at 100% who don&#8217;t have dependents.<\/p>\n<p>Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, or DIC, benefits for surviving spouses of disabled veterans also increase in 2025. Here are the VA Dependency and Indemnity Compensation Rates for 2025.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Miller, A. (2024, October 10).
