Social Security benefits include annual cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) to help keep up with inflation, but these adjustments are based on the CPI-W index, which reflects worker spending patterns, not seniors'. Since healthcare costs for seniors rise faster than general inflation, Social Security benefits have lost about 13.7% of their buying power from 2016 to 2026. A proposed fix is to use the CPI-E index, which better reflects elderly spending, but lawmakers hesitate due to concerns about accuracy, fairness, and Social Security's funding challenges. Retirees should plan for rising healthcare expenses and consider supplemental income sources as Social Security may face cuts in the near future.
