Every October, Social Security’s cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) becomes one of the most closely watched numbers in American personal finance. For the more than 71 million Americans who rely on retired-worker, disability, or survivor benefits, that single percentage determines how much further — or how much less far — their monthly check will stretch the following year.
Heading into 2027, that number is shaping up to be unusually large, and unusually political. Analysts are now calling it a second consecutive “Trump bump,” a COLA increase driven in meaningful part by the administration’s trade and foreign policy decisions rather than by ordinary economic conditions.

The social security payments to retirees MUST NOT be lowered, because of the greedy rich do not want to pay a little more.
