Social Security to see 3.6% increase in 2027

Nearly 70 million Social Security recipients are set to receive a 3.6% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in 2027, the largest increase since 2022, to help offset inflation. Despite this raise, many beneficiaries feel it falls short of covering rising costs, especially for healthcare and health-related expenses, which are often underestimated in inflation calculations.

Experts highlight that COLA adjustments lag behind actual inflation, emphasizing the importance of additional retirement savings and income sources for retirees.
