Proposed Provision: Starting with the December 2013 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), compute the COLA using a chained version of the consumer price index for wage and salary workers (CPI-W). This new computation is estimated to result in an annual COLA that is 0.3 percentage point less, on average. The new COLA would not apply to DI benefits and would apply for all OASI benefits, except for those who are converted from disabled worker to retired worker status.
