As lawmakers are looking for ways to expand and preserve Social Security, Americans might be in for a smaller cost of living adjustment (COLA) next year.
According to a new estimate released by The Senior Citizens League on Thursday, the 2020 COLA is forecast to be a 1.6 percent increase – which would come out to about $23.40 per month for the average beneficiary.
That compares with the $40.90 beneficiaries received in 2019 from a 2.8 percent COLA.
