3 important Social Security changes coming in 2026
Social Security is entering its 10th decade. The popular federal program began in 1935, with President Franklin D. Roosevelt signing the Social Security Act into law. Through the years, there have been several major changes to Social Security, including a gradual raising of the full retirement age from 65 to 67.
More changes to Social Security are on the way. Here are three important ones coming in 2026.
The most important Social Security change next year for beneficiaries is the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Last month, the Social Security Administration announced that benefits will increase by 2.8% beginning in January 2026. The average Social Security retirement benefit will increase by roughly $56 per month.
$200 monthly increase on the line! Social Security bill could deliver big checks in 2026
A new Social Security bill in Congress could give millions a temporary $200 monthly boost in 2026. The plan is part of the Social Security Emergency Inflation Relief Act led by Senator Elizabeth Warren with backing from Chuck Schumer and Ron Wyden. It would add $200 a month for six months, on top of the 2.8% COLA that already raises the average check by about $56. Payments would be tax-free. The increase would apply to Social Security, SSDI, SSI, veterans’ benefits, and Railroad Retirement. The bill is still pending in Congress.
