Social Security Administration project COLA for 2027 to stay the same as 2026 [View all]

https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/article/social-security-cola-for-2027-projected-to-be-flat-despite-recent-jump-in-inflation-150333874.html

Seriously messed up. Despite inflation rising and now well over 3% again, the COLA for seniors is expected to be about 2.8% again. Even if inflation gets to 5% as some projects suggest right now, COLA will be small. People will fall behind further. Just a disaster for millions of people.
