The Bottom Line
Social Security’s 2027 COLA is on track to be one of the largest in decades, and unusually, much of that size can be traced back to specific presidential policy decisions — tariffs and a military conflict that disrupted global oil supply — rather than routine economic cycles.
Current estimates point to a COLA in the 3.4% to 3.6% range, which would mark a sixth straight year of raises at or above 2.5% and, notably, the first year since 2023 that the increase in monthly benefits is projected to outpace the rise in Medicare Part B premiums.
Nothing is final until the Social Security Administration’s official October announcement, but for now, the numbers suggest 2027 could deliver retirees both a historically large raise and a rare moment where more of that raise actually reaches their pocket.
This article reflects Social Security and Medicare data and forecasts available as of August 2026. Official 2027 figures will be announced by the Social Security Administration in October 2026.
Oh stop. Bidenflation is why prices are so high. He also owns the highest gas prices in history.
You expect President Trump to fix the horrible policies demoncrats put on us.
You’ll probably vote for socialism in the midterms and in ’28,and that will be the final nail in the coffin.
demoncrats HATE America and I blame people like YOU who vote for those communists.
I did comment but it disappeared. I didn’t get that so called $90 raise. All just talk@
I did not get the $90 supposively raise. All just talk.
Medicare for all, free education etc. the socialists democratic party want’s will make the existing $40 Trillion national debt look like nothing if all those items were implemented. The cost of all those government run programs would cost 50-75 trillion more you idiot. As far as job market goes, you obviously have not been looking there are plenty of jobs available. Companys all over have hiring signs. I get it you may not want to do what is being offered because your probably to lazy to work.
You’re getting the SS raise “BECAUSE” everything went up in cost.
