Social Security Recipients Could See Bigger 2027 COLA Boost Than Expected
Overview
In 2026, Social Security beneficiaries received a 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment. This was higher than the COLA from the year prior but significantly below some of the other adjustments in the post-pandemic era.
COLAs are critical to the financial security of seniors who rely on Social Security for income, as the value of benefits would continually decline without adjustments to blunt the impact of inflation. Since these adjustments help seniors make ends meet, retirees are often eager for news about the upcoming COLA they'll collect.

Recently, retirees got a major update on the COLA estimates for 2027. Here are the current estimates, along with some details on why the numbers have changed.
