Social Security recipients are reportedly on track for a larger cost-of-living adjustment in 2027, with early estimates ranging from 3.2% to 3.6% following the latest inflation data. Analysts, including those from the Senior Citizens League and independent experts, revised projections downward slightly after July consumer prices moderated, though the expected increase would still exceed this year's 2.8% COLA and the long-term average. The official figure will be based on third-quarter inflation data and announced in October.
