The Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2027 is expected to be 3.8 percent, up from this year’s COLA of 2.8 percent, The Senior Citizens League said in a June 10 statement.
COLA is an automatic annual change made to Social Security benefits to keep payments in line with changes in inflation. Currently, monthly Social Security payments amount to $2,026.41 per month for the average retiree. With the 3.8 percent increase, next year’s payments are projected to be $2,103.41, according to the organization.
