Social Security COLA Set to Rise | Birmingham News

Description

Social Security’s COLA for 2027 is projected at 3.6%—a four-year high that could add $69 to the average monthly benefit, pushing it past $2,000. But don’t get too hopeful: inflation and rising Medicare costs may eat into those gains. The official number drops October 14th, based on CPI data from July through September. While this marks a rebound from smaller increases since 2023’s massive 8.7%, real buying power might not keep pace with the headline number.
