Expected Small Increase for Social Security Beneficiaries
According to the latest forecast from The Senior Citizens League, Social Security beneficiaries are on pace to receive the smallest cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in three years. This change is attributed to ongoing economic conditions, including inflation trends.
Factors Influencing COLA Adjustments
