By now you should have received your first Social Security benefit payment of 2026. It should be about $50 more than previously, because of the 2026 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).
Despite the benefit boost, an article by The Motley Fool says seniors are still struggling. The article points out that the only reason retirees got a benefit increase is because inflation is still high. The Social Security COLA just isn’t keeping up with inflation year after year.
Council of Seniors Wants to Give Retirees More Money
The chance of seeing a substantial COLA in the future is unlikely. That’s why all of us here at the Council of Seniors are working hard to get Congress to passThe SAVE Benefits Act. This crucial bill will put $581 back in seniors’ pockets to make up for Social Security cost-of-living adjustments that were far too low for years.
Greedy Washington politicians are using retirees’ hard-earned money in other ways, but we’re dedicated to giving it back to those who are rightfully entitled to it.
