Detailed Single Year Tables

Category of Change: Cost-of-Living Adjustment

Proposal Change from Current Law

Proposed Provision: A4. Starting December 2026, compute the COLA using a chained version of the consumer price 

index for wage and salary workers (CPI-W). We estimate this new computation will reduce the annual COLA by about 

0.3 percentage point, on average. The new COLA will not apply to DI benefits. It will apply to OASI benefits, except 

for those of formerly disabled-workers who converted to retired-worker status.
