Poll Results: Your Opinions Matter to Us!
Dear Supporter,
This year’s tiny 2.5% Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) has not kept pace with the high cost of goods and services that seniors rely on the most. And early estimates of next year’s COLA project it to hold steady around the same small figure! (The official COLA announcement will be made on October 15, 2025.)
That means millions of older Americans will continue to struggle to afford their basic needs, including housing, groceries and prescription drugs.
Since 2010, the majority of COLAs have been woefully inadequate at keeping up with seniors’ rising costs — in three of these years the COLA was ZERO.
That’s why I recently asked this question of our readers: Do you think your Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) will be enough to cover rising costs?
Overall, 92% of respondents said they cannot count on the COLA to cover rising costs. It’s clear many of our members and supporters are finding it difficult to afford the high costs of housing, food and prescription drugs, among other goods and services.
With your support, the National Committee is fighting to pass the “Boosting Benefits and COLAs for Seniors Act.” ( [link removed] )
This bill would direct the Social Security Administration to adjust benefits based on the Consumer Price Index for the Elderly (CPI-E) rather than Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), if the CPI-E would result in a larger increase in benefits. This would ensure that seniors get the largest COLA possible to help them contend with the rise in costs they are facing.
Please make a gift in any amount you can afford today ( [link removed] ) to support the National Committee’s urgent fight to protect the Social Security benefits relied on by more than 73 million Americans.
Thank you again for your loyal partnership.
