Social Security's 2027 COLA: What We Know So Far, and What We Don't
There are clues as to what next year's raise might look like, but we don't have the full picture yet.
Overview
For seniors on Social Security, there's perhaps no more important an announcement each year than news of an official cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA.
COLAs are meant to help benefits keep up with rising costs. And they're pegged to the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W, which measures changes in the prices paid by workers for different goods and services.
