For updated information about projections for COLA in 2024, see this article in USA Today. The article is highly informative and goes beyond just discussing the COLA for SS.
I'm posting because there's another thread that contains conflated information about 2023 and 2024 and I think some might want updated information.

If we hit the debt ceiling, and appears we are on track for June 1 you'll have much bigger concerns than a few more $ in 2024.

The 2023 amount was the largest I believe in 40 yrs. Everyone should know it's downhill from 2024 & beyond.

Thanks for starting a new thread. I thought about it earlier, but was running out the door and didn't have the time.

It's likely there won't be a 2024 COLA. If there is, it will be miniscule.

@Snowpuppy ITA. Nothing will be lost, but recipients of social security and other payments could be in for a rough ride.

I can speculate and guess with the best. How will my SS COLA change me/my family and how we live? ZERO!
More important things in my life than what some so-called, non-middle class economists, figure my COL actually is.

@Mz iMac Yes, but you get to add the new percentage to the amount you received in 2023 which, if the new COLA is about about 3.1%-4% (just a guess for a hypothetical here) means that over the past two year. If there's a 4%, your benefit over two years would increase around 12%. That's no slim pickins.
Wish it would keep up with the price of groceries and food from all sources. When you add foods costs to shrinkflation, consumers are paying so much more for meals than five years ago.

Of course the increase will be smaller than this year's 8.7%, which was the highest since 1981.
This also applies to SSDI (Social Security Disability) and SSI (Supplemental Security Income), which people often forget.
