The 2027 Social Security COLA Forecast Has Taken a Dip, and More Bad News Could Be on the Way
You may not be getting as large a benefit boost as you expected next year.
Overview
The 2027 Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) estimate has fallen slightly, and further projections may also come in lower than expected if inflation remains steady or falls over the next couple of months. That could lead to a smaller benefit boost for seniors than they were expecting.
We won't know for sure until the official 2027 COLA announcement on Oct. 14, 2026. But it might be worth bracing yourself for a smaller benefit increase next year, just in case.
