Social Security Administration announced that the 2027 annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will be 3.6%.
The COLA is based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. COLA notices will be mailed out in December and will provide exact dates and dollar amounts of an individual’s new benefit amount and any deductions. However, individuals with personal mySocialSecurity accounts can view their COLA notice online starting in late November. New payment amounts will go into effect on December 31, 2026 for SSI; new benefit amounts for other beneficiaries will go into effect in January 2027.
