Social Security recipients could get a nearly 4% cost-of-living adjustment, forecasters say
Social Security recipients could receive a 2027 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) of nearly 4%, driven by inflation climbing at its fastest pace in almost three years.
Seniors and others who receive Social Security benefits could see a COLA of 3.9% next year, according to a new estimate from the Senior Citizens League, an advocacy group for older Americans.
"This is up quite a bit from earlier in the year, when our projection generally sat between 2% and 3%," Alex Moore, the statistician for the Senior Citizens League, told CBS News in an email.
As of January, the average retired worker received $2,071 in monthly Social Security benefits, according to the agency. A 3.9% boost would add $80.77 to the typical monthly check, raising it to about $2,152.

Social Security and Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries could see a big jump in their monthly payments come next year.
The cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, for 2027 is likely to grow to 3.9%, according to a new estimate from the Senior Citizen’s League, a nonpartisan group that advocates for seniors.
That would be a significant hike over this year’s 2.8% rise.
The cost-of-living adjustment is applied automatically each year to account for inflation. It is based on third quarter results from the government’s Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. The Senior Citizens League said its estimate relies on data released this month.
