The Social Security Administration announced a 3.6% cost-of-living raise for 2027, increasing the average monthly benefit by $75. Meanwhile, dividend ETFs iShares Select Dividend (DVY) and ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats (NOBL) grew their payouts by 10.24% and 9.09% respectively over the past year, outperforming Social Security's raise. However, unlike Social Security, these fund payouts are not guaranteed and can fluctuate. Retirees can view Social Security as a reliable income base, with dividend funds providing potential additional income growth but with more risk.
Social Security's 3.6% raise for 2027 provides context for dividend payout growth.
