CryptoNews消息, the Social Security Administration is expected to raise benefits by 3.8% in 2027. This forecast is based on projections from the Senior Citizens Alliance and analyst Mary Johnson. It will be the first time since 1988 to 1997 that Social Security benefits have exceeded the average level for six consecutive years. Although Medicare Part B premiums continue to rise, the expected increase in Social Security COLA will increase the average retired worker’s benefits by about $77 per month. The Social Security Administration will calculate COLA based on the Consumer Price Index for Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). It is expected that the 2027 CPI-W will be affected by inflation and oil price increases following the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz.
