Social Security retirees are projected to receive a significant cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in 2027, estimated between 3.9% and 4.2%, marking the largest increase in four years and the fourth largest in 36 years. This projection is based on rising inflation trends reflected in early 2026 Consumer Price Index data. However, the official COLA depends on inflation data from the third quarter of 2026, which could change due to economic factors like tariff policy shifts, geopolitical events, or Federal Reserve interest rate changes. Retirees should prepare for a higher benefit but remain cautious as the final adjustment is not yet confirmed.
