🔍 The Senior Citizens League just released their first 2027 COLA projection based on December's inflation data. The number? Just 2.5%. But property here's guess the party why that could change dramatically – and why you need to start paying attention NOW.
In this Truth Lens breakdown, we explain:
✅ The new 2027 COLA projection and what it means
✅ Why the current 2.8% COLA feels so inadequate
✅ How the COLA calculation actually works (Q3 data)
✅ Why tariff effects could spike inflation mid-2026
✅ The trajectory of inflation and why it matters
✅ How delayed COLA adjustments hurt fixed-income recipients
✅ What to watch for in the coming months
The 2027 COLA won't be finalized until October 2026, but understanding the trajectory NOW helps you prepare for what's coming.
📌 REMEMBER: We "lucked out" getting 2.8% – if they used current data, we'd only be getting about 2.4-2.5%. But rising prices may push next year's COLA higher.
