Updates...

📢 After a nine-day delay caused by the federal government shutdown, the Social Security Administration has officially announced a 2.8% Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2026.

This increase reflects inflation as measured by the CPI-W (Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers) from July through September.

The COLA, along with updates to maximum taxable earnings, retirement earnings test thresholds, and other key figures will affect millions of Americans beginning with January 2026 benefit payments.
