# §404.276. Publication of notice of increase.


When we determine that an automatic cost-of-living increase is due, we publish in the Federal Register within 45 days of the end of the measuring period used in finding the amount of the increase—

- (a) The fact that an increase is due;
- (b) The amount of the increase;
- (c) The increased special minimum primary insurance amounts; and
- (d) The range of increased maximum family benefits that corresponds to the range of increased special minimum primary insurance amounts.
