The COLA is determined by inflation figures for the third quarter, which covers July through September.<\/p>\n<p>With much of the government&#8217;s economic data on hold until Congress approves federal funding, the Bureau of Labor Statistics now plans to release its latest CPI figures on Oct. 24, about nine days later than planned. The Social Security Administration told CBS News it plans to issue its COLA announcement that same day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Bureau of Labor Statistics has announced they will issue the September 2025 Consumer Price Index on October 24,&#8221; the Social Security Administration said in an Oct. 14 email. &#8220;The Social Security Administration will use this release to generate and announce the 2026 cost-of-living adjustment on October 24 as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The new COLA will take effect starting Jan. 1, 2026, without any delays due to the ongoing shutdown, the agency added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>How much of a living adjustment?<\/h2>\n<p>According to an estimate published last month by the Senior Citizens League, the annual COLA for 2026 could be around 2.7%, slightly higher than the 2.5% increase beneficiaries\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssa.gov\/cola\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">received<\/a>\u00a0in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The League, an advocacy group for older Americans, based its most recent projection on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cbsnews.com\/news\/cpi-report-today-august-2025-tariffs-inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">August inflation data<\/a>\u00a0from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Because the SSA will also include September inflation data in its COLA rate, that number could change when it&#8217;s announced later this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>AARP, another advocacy group for older people, expects the 2026 COLA to range from 2.6% to 2.9%. A 2.7% boost in benefits would lift the average monthly payment for retired workers by $54, from $2,008 to $2,062.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Where is inflation now?<\/h2>\n<p>The September CPI is forecast to rise to an annual rate of 3.1% up from <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cpi-report-today-august-2025-tariffs-inflation\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">2.9% in August<\/a><\/span>, according to economists polled by FactSet.<\/p>\n<p>According to economists, inflation is edging higher due partly to the impact of the Trump administration&#8217;s tariffs, which have hit imports from across the globe, such as clothing, food, steel and toys. While some businesses stockpiled imported goods earlier this year to avoid raising rising prices, some are now <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-tariffs-consumer-price-hikes-inflation-coffee-autos-apparel-cpi\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">passing the import taxes<\/a><\/span>\u00a0on to their customers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Core goods pressures have started to heat up, marking the beginning of a delayed tariff passthrough,&#8221; RBC economists Michael Reid and Carrie Freestone said in an Oct. 14 report. &#8220;Concerningly, the breadth of inflationary pressures has widened \u2014 45% of CPI basket items are now reporting price growth at or above 3%, compared to roughly two-thirds pre-pandemic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"min-height:446px\" id=\"datawrapper-vis-xHa2t\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/xHa2t\/full.png\" alt=\"How fast are prices rising?
