The day more than 71 million traditional Social Security beneficiaries have been waiting for arrived last week. On Wednesday, Oct. 14, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics published the September inflation report, providing the final data point needed for the Social Security Administration to calculate and announce the 2027 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Social Security's COLA represents the near-annual raise given to beneficiaries to combat inflation (rising prices). If Social Security payouts didn't rise in lockstep with inflation, beneficiaries would lose buying power over time. Social Security's 2027 raise is among the largest over the last 35 years, thanks in part to President Donald Trump's policies. But while this Trump bump will lead to an outsize benefit boost for recipients in the upcoming year, it comes at a potentially steep cost to Social Security's solvency.
