The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 3.5 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 306.502 (1982-84=100). For the month, the index increased 0.7 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.
Based on these data measured against the average CPI-W for the third quarter of 2023, the 2025 Social Security COLA would be 1.7%.
If the inflation trend continues upward so will the COLA.
REMEMBER. The COLA is not based on year over year inflation, but rather the growth between the third quarter averages year over year of the CPI-W (Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners)

My Lord, where will I get the money to pay the additional taxes on my SS? Another phoney number from the government.
