COLA

Lately, there’s lots of chatter about the COLA for next year being the biggest since 1980 when it was 14.3 or 1981 when we received 11.2. Anything in the double digits would be huge for us. It would be a first for me. My VA disability started in 1991 and my SSDI didn’t start till 1998 I think.

Opinions on what it will be are varied:

Yahoo/Finance The Consumer Price Index report for Wednesday showed that inflation in June surged by 9.1%. This means that the COLA (cost-of-living adjustment) for 2023 will be approximately 10.5%, according to the Senior Citizens League. This is great news for seniors who are struggling to keep up with the rising costs of living.

Fool.com According to Mary Johnson, a Social Security policy analyst at The Senior Citizens League (TSCL), a nonpartisan senior advocacy group, the program’s COLA could be as high as 11.4% in 2023 if inflation continues to surge in the third quarter.

Here is a link to Google Search for COLA 2023 so you can keep track of the news on the 2023 COLA as we get closer to it’s announcement in October.

For historical perspective here are the COLA increases since 1975.

  • January 2019 — 2.8%
  • January 2020 — 1.6%
