The projected cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for Social Security recipients next year will likely be slightly higher than the 2.5 percent COLA that was implemented for 2025’s payments, according to The Senior Citizens League (TSCL).
The group said that its modeling, which factors in consumer price index data that was released on Sept. 11, shows that the COLA will be 2.7 percent for next year.
