Cola 2025 Estimates 11% Increase. The senior citizens league forecasts next year's cola to be at 2.63 percent, slightly lower than their last month's estimate of 2.57 percent, it said in a statement. Luckily, every year the ssa adjusts payments to reflect changing costs with the intention of keeping retirees' standard of living constant.
The 2025 social security cola will almost certainly be lower than the increase. But seniors could struggle as inflation heats up.
