📢 Best-Case COLA 2026 = 3%
SSA Trustees project retirees could see a 3% raise in benefits next year — about +
$60/mo for the avg
$2K check.
But here’s the twist: higher COLA = higher inflation. Your “raise” risks being eaten alive by rising costs.
Current est: 2.7% (up from 2.4% in May).
👀 COLA ≠ Free Money. It’s inflation’s receipt.
