00:00Big news for America's seniors. The 2026 Social Security Cost of Living Adjustment, or COLA,

00:06is taking shape, and here's what you need to know. According to early forecasts, experts predict a

00:122.6 to 2.8 percent increase in benefits next year. That means the average retiree could see about

00:19$50 more per month, starting in January 2026. The final number is based on CPIW inflation data

00:26from July through September, and the official announcement is expected this October. But

00:31there's a twist. The recent government shutdown has delayed inflation reports, meaning the final

00:37COLA figure could come out later than usual. And remember, Medicare Part B premiums are also set to

00:43rise in 2026, which could eat into that COLA boost. Still, any increase helps millions of Americans keep

00:51pace with rising costs of food, housing, and health care. What do you think? Is this enough

00:57to help retirees in 2026? Drop your thoughts below. And don't forget to like, subscribe,
