Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2026
The SSA announced on October 24 that Social Security benefits and SSI payments will increase by 2.8% in 2026. The announcement was delayed due to a brief government shutdown.
This COLA increase means the average retiree will see a boost of approximately $56 per month, beginning in January 2026.
While the 2026 adjustment is lower than the 10-year average COLA of 3.1%, it is higher than the 2.5% increase applied in 2025.
SSA Commissioner Frank J. Bisignano emphasized the importance of these adjustments, stating that annual COLAs help ensure Social Security benefits continue to reflect current economic conditions and provide financial stability for beneficiaries.
