Hi,
Social Security runs several types of automated processes around this time of the year. What you likely received is back pay related to a benefit rate adjustment of some type, although I have no way of knowing for sure. You should receive an explanation by mail within 2 weeks of when you received the payment, or you could contact Social Security and ask them about it.
Best, Jerry
