The Social Security Administration will announce the 2025 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) on Oct. 10, 2024. Until then, you can only make your best guess as to what it's going to be. The existing data suggests the COLA will be lower than what program recipients have seen in recent years.

The Social Security Administration is less than two weeks away from announcing its cost of living adjustment (COLA), the annual bump in recipients' payments to help them deal with inflation.

The annual cost of living adjustment (COLA) by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to Social Security payments for 2025 is expected to be 2.5%, the smallest COLA increase in the past three years.

Despite the 2025 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) representing a modest silver lining, inflationary pressures are liable to get the best of retirees, once again.
