Description

The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, or CPI-W, which is used to calculate the COLA, has risen at an annual rate of more than 3% since March.

The latest projection shows Social Security beneficiaries are in line for a 3.6% Cost of Living Adjustment in 2027. While that raise would be the largest in four years, it falls far short of addressing the needs of retirees, according to a leading advocacy group.
