Date:
Dear Colleague,
Today, we announced that monthly Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income payments for 75 million Americans will increase by 2.8 percent in 2026.
Visit our blog for details about the COLA and other important news. Individuals who create an online my Social Security account can access their personal COLA up to three weeks earlier than by mail if they sign up for digital notices by November 19.
I encourage you to share this information with your members, colleagues, affiliates, and other interested parties. Thank you for your continued partnership.
Sincerely,
