Social Security's Biggest Pay Raise in 4 Years is Just Around the Corner. But There's a Catch.

Projected 2027 Social Security benefits increases range from 3.9% to 4.2%. Mary Johnson, an independent Social Security and Medicare analyst, estimates a 4.2% increase, up from a 1.7% estimate earlier in the year. The Senior Citizens League projects a 3.9% COLA, revised upward from 2.8%. COLA is calculated using year-over-year changes in CPI-W, released monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The formula uses third-quarter data, unavailable until October, but published January through April inflation shows a higher trend, reaching the worst level in three years.
