Social Security and Supplemental Security Income payments will rise 3.6% in 2027, the Social Security Administration announced Wednesday after the September Consumer Price Index was published. About 76 million Americans receive the benefits.
Reuters reports it is the second straight year the adjustment has accelerated. The increase follows September inflation of 3.7%, driven largely by gasoline prices tied to the Iran war.
Everything above this line is reported fact, attributed to the sources listed. The Scripture Connection is our interpretation, offered by Christians who read the whole Bible, Old and New Testament, with an Israelite-rooted understanding.
