The Social Security Administration on Monday will implement a big change in the way millions of recipients can verify their identity with the agency to receive their benefits.

Around 3.2 million Social Security recipients will see their monthly benefits increase because of President Biden's move, with an average increase of $360. People receiving Social Security spousal benefits will see an average boost of $700, and survivor benefit recipients will see checks rise $1,190 on average.

WASHINGTON - There are a few changes in April that could impact certain Social Security beneficiaries. This includes a boost for many retired public workers, stricter identity requirements, and changes to how the agency recoups accidental overpayments.
