2027 Social Security checks could rise, but may not seem larger to many

Retirees eyeing a 3.9% Social Security COLA for 2027 shouldn’t count on it, as the official increase will depend on July–September inflation, not early forecasts; any drop in energy prices before then could lower the adjustment, while rising Medicare premiums may offset gains.

Social Security’s $4 Million Question: Can the S&P 500 Beat a 2033 Benefits Cliff?

A retiree’s claim that Social Security payroll taxes could have grown to $4 million in the S&P 500 has renewed debate over the system’s structure.

The payroll tax rate is set at 12.4% of earnings up to $184,500 in 2026.
