The 2027 COLA is projected to rise as much as 3.6%, according to reports from Yahoo Finance and fool.com. This increase is driven by a phenomenon referred to as the "Trump Bump." The term is used to describe the economic policies implemented during the Trump administration that are now influencing the 2027 COLA.
The current COLA count stands at 3.1%, with two months remaining before the final adjustment is determined. However, the projected 3.6% increase could push the Social Security program toward a funding crisis, according to currently.att.yahoo.com.
