The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has shared ODPANN 25-105. The purpose of this communication is to provide notice that the Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment will increase beginning in January 2026.

The SSI federal program provides benefits to adults and children who meet the SSA’s requirements for disability, income, and resources. This income benefit is designed to help qualified individuals meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter. Periodically, COLA affects the maximum monthly allotment. Effective January 2026, the SSA increased the SSI allotment by 2.8 percent to reflect an increase in the cost of living.

To account for the new COLA, room and board agreements should be reviewed to determine appropriate adjustment. The Room and Board Residency Agreement § 6100.687 (DP 1077) is found on the MyODP website.

Please see the bulletin for additional information. If you have any questions, please reach out to your Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) Regional Office.
