Social Security Benefit Increase for 2027

Written By: Andrea Bulen, CFP®

The Social Security Administration has announced a 3.6% cost-of-living adjustment for 2027. The increase will take effect in January 2027 and is designed to help benefits keep pace with inflation.

Beneficiaries can view their personalized benefit increase notices through their Social Security account beginning in late November, or by mail in December. Keep in mind that changes to Medicare premiums may impact your net monthly benefit. To review your updated benefit amount or create an online account, visit www.ssa.gov/myaccount.
