美国社会保障局预计将在9月通胀报告于10月14日发布后宣布2027年的生活成本调整（COLA）。美国劳工统计局将于东部时间上午8:30发布该报告，提供计算增长所需的最终通胀数据。
The US Social Security Administration is expected to announce the 2027 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) after the September inflation report is released on October 14. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish the report at 8:30 am ET, providing the final inflation data needed to calculate the increase.

超过7100万传统社会保障受益人可能在2027年获得过去35年来最大的年度福利增加之一。然而，虽然更高的月付款可能帮助受益人应对更高的开支，但也可能给本已紧张的社会保障财政带来更大压力，正如The Motley Fool所述。
More than 71 million traditional Social Security beneficiaries could receive one of the biggest annual benefit increases in the last 35 years in 2027. However, while larger monthly payments could help beneficiaries manage higher expenses, they could also put more pressure on the programme's already strained finances, according to The Motley Fool.
根据The Motley Fool的报道，非党派老年人倡导组织Senior Citizens League（TSCL）以及社会保障和医疗保险政策分析师Mary Johnson均预测2027年的COLA为3.5%。这是一个估算，而非最终公布的增加幅度。
The Senior Citizens League (TSCL), a nonpartisan advocacy group for older Americans, and Mary Johnson, a Social Security and Medicare policy analyst, are both projecting a 3.5% COLA for 2027, according to The Motley Fool. This is an estimate, not the final announced increase.
如果这一3.5%的估算正确，平均退休工人每月可能获得额外73美元的社会保障福利，即全年约增加876美元。
If the 3.5% estimate is correct, the average retired worker could receive an additional $73 per month in Social Security benefits. That would mean about $876 more over a full year, based on the estimated monthly increase.
3.5%的增加将与1993年以来的第六大社会保障COLA并列。这也将标志着连续第六年福利增加至少为2.5%，这一趋势在过去30年里未曾出现。
A 3.5% increase would tie for the sixth-largest Social Security COLA since 1993. It would also mark the sixth consecutive year with a benefit increase of at least 2.5%, a streak that has not occurred in 30 years.
